[Intro]
(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Where we met on Christmas Eve)

[Verse 1]
She's an aristo, I'm working class
And I treated her real bad
I never got to apologise
About the man who made you sad

I know I said a lot 'cause I was wired
When you're young you're a machine
We were drinking with the Idlewild
In the days of speed, and we met on Christmas Eve

[Chorus]
We drank until the morning light
Like we were never going home
And we sang a song a million sing
Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep
But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be
But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream
Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

[Verse 2]
Then I moved into her big old house
I never been to Saint John's Wood
There were movie stars and media types
We were all up to no good

And we all said a lot 'cause we were wild
What a twisted web we weave (What a twisted web we weave)
We were living with the Idlewild
In the days of speed, and we met on Christmas Eve

[Chorus]
We drank until the morning light
Like we were never going home
And we sang a song a million sing
Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep
But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be
But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream
Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

[Bridge]
I know who you're with, and I know where you are
I know you found love and you deserved it
I was just a kid, but I know what I did
I ask for forgiveness if I'm worth it

[Chorus]
We drank until the morning light
Like we were never going home
And we sang a song a million sing
Just like we scored a goal

I must've made promises I couldn't keep
But if you trust the fool then the fool you will be
But I looked into your eyes and sold you a dream
Then we fled the scene where we met on Christmas Eve

[Outro]
(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Where we met on Christmas Eve)
(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Where we met on Christmas Eve)
