lyrics

2. Advent Beard
*a song is for life, not just for christmas*

I’m gonna grow me an advent beard
To cover my face. To catch my tears
‘cos Christmas day is never far away
And I know you will be leaving me

And I’m gonna buy me an advent beer
To wash away the hopes and fears
And at New Year’s time I’ll switch back to the wine
‘cos I know you will be leaving me

I’m gonna grow it just to keep me warm until it gets to summer
‘cos I know you won’t be there for me my lover
At the bottom it’s short and prickly
Fairy on top like the Christmas tree

And I’m gonna get me an advent whore
Pretend that’s all you were ever good for
At the time of good deeds, oh babe I’ve still got needs
And I know you will be leaving me

I’m gonna grow it just to keep me warm until it gets to summer
‘cos I know you won’t be there for me my lover
At the bottom it’s short and prickly
Furry on top like the Christmas tree

And I’m gonna cry me an advent tear
For every day since you disappeared
Then hope & pray every single day
That one day you’ll return to me

I’m gonna grow me an advent beard
I’m gonna buy me an advent beer
I’m gonna get me an advent whore
Ho! Ho! Ho Ho!
Grow a beard
Oh Come All Ye Faithful
Your facial hair is graceful

Hull cult favourites Edible 5ft Smiths made one & a half of the greatest undiscovered albums of the noughties before burning up in a small blaze of glory, leaving broken hearts scattered in their wake. Since then Matt has fronted twisted rock combo The Holy Orders, all the while building up a collection of distinctly different songs of his own, more akin to a continuation of the Edibles catalogue. ... more
