Jethro Tull - Birthday Card At Christmas Lyrics






Got a birthday card at Christmas... it made me think of Jesus Christ.
It said, "I love you" in small letters. I simply had to read it twice.
Wood smoke curled from blackened chimneys. The smell of frost was in the air.
Pole star hovered in the blackness. I looked again... it wasn't there.

People have showered me with presents. While their minds were fixed on other things.
Sleigh bells, bearded red suit uncles. Pointy trees and angel wings.
I am the shadow in your Christmas. I am the corner of your smile.
Perfunctory in celebration. You offer content but no style.

That little baby Jesus... he got a birthday card or three.
Gold trinkets and cheap frankincense. Some penny baubles for his tree.
Have some time off for good behaviour. Forty days, give or take a few.
Hey there, sweet baby Jesus... Let's share a birthday card with you.

    R.J. Bass I heard a sample by JT at a summer concert 2003 before release. I was not very hopeful. Turns out this is one of the freshest collections of Christmas songs in some time. I play it every year as I'm tasked to put lights on the tree since it came out for Christmas 2003.

    Sir, please turn down your radio.
