we wait at the bottom of the stairs, my big sister and I And old green ladder flecked with paint - - lies idly by Waiting for my Dad to come and disappear into the loft to find our boxes of christmas chee -er er Every year we change, but we keep some things the same the santa for the tree that's old and frayed Every year we change, but we keep some things the same reminding us of joy from yesterday A dusty happy ritual as the the boxes are passed down A kaleidescope of tinsel comes crashing to the ground We 3 kings of shawclough drive, with glitter in our hair, Run laughing to the kitchen to our mum who's standing there Every year we change, but we keep some things the same the santa for the tree that's old and frayed Every year we change, but we keep some things the same reminding us of joy from yesterday

It's Dad in the kitchen and Auntie at the table Who will get their fill of treasured vitals? I cant look, I push the paper hat down over my eyes It's the shoot out at the Shawclough Coral Steely eyed they stair across the crossman christmas table Reaching for the China Pot the atmosphere unstable Tensions ripping through the air as Autie piles the parsnips high It's the shoot out at the Shawclough Coral A year has passed since aunty won the first round of the war Dad responds by stockpiling, cooking even more parsnips for the table, but she's equal to the task It's the shoot out at the Shawclough Coral Another christmas dinner gone and we all feel on edge For this year there seems to be a surplus of root veg! For aunty passed away this year, and we'll sadly have some peace It's the shoot out at the Shawclough Coral
