Favourite Christmas Songs

Jona Lewis - Stop the Cavalry


Why people think this is a Christmas song I'll never know. Yeah it has an upbeat tune but look at the lyrics. Coming from someone who spent two Christmas' in not so nice sandy places (and almost 5 years away from home in my time) it resonates more with hurt than fucking Christmas.

Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly
But it's very cold out here in the snow
Marching to and from the enemy
Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough
Can you stop the cavalry?
I have had to fight almost every night
Down throughout these centuries
That is when I say, oh yes yet again
Can you stop the cavalry?
Mary Bradley waits at home
In the nuclear fallout zone
Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love
Dub-a-dub-a-dum-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dum-dum-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dum-dum-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas
Bang! That's another bomb on another town
While the Tsar and Jim have tea
If I get home, live to tell the tale
I'll run for all presidencies
If I get elected I'll stop
I will stop the cavalry
Dub-a-dub-a-dum-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dum-dum-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dum-dum-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas
Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love
Mary Bradley waits at home
She's been waiting two years long
Wish I was at home for Christmas

You are right and it happens to be one of my favourites. It got there because of an online campaign to stop the X-Fucktor winners automatically getting a fifth consecutive Christmas No.1

Damn. I’ve still got all my original RATM albums here and still listen to them. Aye I remember that too. Radio had to play a hugely edited version. Zack Dela Rocha isn’t known for holding back. ?

I'm envious ?
There was very little point to that song edited. It says what it says to try to make a point. I'm still happy it got there rather than some sanitised corporate robot shite ?
