Made For TV

It's Christmas time again
And I can't find the words to say
I wish you would go away

You came around in June
And all your colours caught my eye
Christmas in July
(Why?)

Was it the music in the background
Or the words that you said
Or the promise of a romance
Now that romance is dead
I've seen every part of you while I've been lying in bed
It's true
What am I gonna do?
(What am I gonna do?)

Cause I've had enough of all these
Made-for-TV Christmas movies
Watch one or two and you've seen them all
But every year the channel appears
Sharing twenty four seven Christmas cheer
But the stories are all the same and the acting ain't great
My least favourite way to spend the holidays

I turned you on too many times in the middle of the night
(He turned you on too many times in the middle of the night)
But quickly come to realise it's the same film every time
Oh yeah

And like John McClane I'm back again for four or five films
And like the Grinch I start to flinch when I hear Christmas bells
I just think why did someone sign up on this movie from hell?
Oh, why
It just makes me wanna cry

Cause I've had enough of all these
Made-for-TV Christmas movies
Watch one or two and you've seen them all
But every year the channel appears
Sharing twenty four seven Christmas cheer
But the stories are all the same and the acting ain't great
My least favourite way to spend the holidays

So where did the classics go
Bring back the ones we all used to know
Give me Kevin outsmarting Marv and Harry
And a full-grown man painted green must be Jim Carrey

And take me back to that miracle on 34
A Christmas carol
Cue cards right outside of Keira Knightley's door
God Only Knows Blaring in the background of the airport scene
And Michael Caine as Scrooge
And Will Ferrell dressed head-to-toe in green

And show me Chevy chasing down the perfect Christmas fantasy
The Snowman walking in the air
Lasso the moon like George Bailey
And Clarence gets his wings
And Bill Nighy sings about the feeling in his toe
Everyone knows these are the moments of the greatest Christmas movie

Cause I've had enough of all these
Made-for-TV Christmas movies
Watch one or two and you've seen them all
But every year the channel appears
Sharing twenty four seven Christmas cheer
But the stories are all the same and the acting ain't great
My least favourite way to spend the holidays
