Sparks - Christmas Without A Prayer Lyrics






Christmas without a prayer
No one to go to church with
And run their fingers through my hair

No one to buy me things I don't want
Bright-colored ties
Monogrammed things
An album by Wings

Christmas without a prayer
No one to feed the birds with
From cold park benches
Icy air

No one to tell me, the first date's too soon
No one to show me
Pictures of her kids
The first I've heard of kids

I'm saying a prayer
(I feel it)
I'll never despair
(I feel it)
I'm laying it bare
(I feel it)
I know there's a brighter day

I'm saying a prayer
(I feel it)
I'll never despair
(I feel it)
I'm laying it bare
(I feel it)
I know there's a brighter day Christmas without a prayer
No one to eat Thai with
It's all that's open anywhere...

Sparks Christmas Without A Prayer Comments
  1. a.... m....

    havent heard this before..its good which is why radio doesnt play it

  2. J.... B....

    I'm listening to this in Ausgust 2019 and it doesn't seem out of place even though it's a christmas song.

  3. D.... U....

    A very Merry Christmas to all Sparks fans, and to Ron & Russell - Gods amongst men.

  4. P.... O....

    Cinematic genius. Or I am just a wee bit depressed...either way.

  5. d.... ....

    Love it. It get's better and more meaningful each year " No one to eat Thai with....it's all thats open anywhere"

  6. r.... b....

    god blesss

  7. M.... D....

    At last, a Christmas song that speaks to me!

  8. R.... D....

    Love Sparks or die die I say!

    R.... D....

    Personally I think it's enough punishment to live without the pleasure, joy and brilliance Sparks give us clever, hmm.., people 😁😉💖
    I mean, if they don't understand the greatness about Sparks, imagene everything else they don't get! Such as essential things like humor for instance. Boring🙄 life. 😉😉😉😁😁

  9. D.... E....

    For some reason I'm imagining Wings at the Speed of Sound. Which is not a terrible album, it has about three decent songs on it, but it's the kind of album I can imagine receiving for Christmas and being all "Oh, great... thanks" and dying a little on the inside.

  10. M.... W....

    I don't believe you, but for me it's the case.

  11. A.... R....

    I love how anytime Sparks mentions church in a song, they say something hilarious.

  12. K.... ....

    Nobody to pinch the all the best ones out of my tin of Quality Street! 😂

  13. d.... ....

    Love it - gets better each time I hear it . A Christmas favourite for years to come. I hope they release the BBC recording of “Little Drummer boy” sometime soon too . https://youtu.be/NUPydgqRWok

    d.... ....

    dcee73 ... Yeah " Little drummer boy " Sparks. Is just brilliant, but until it's released ( hopefully ) came across the "Dandy Warhols" doing a rendition, also brilliant. ...

  14. K.... ....

    Its criminal that this was never Xmas number 1!

  15. z.... ....

    спасибо за красоту!!!

  16. R.... Y....

    Sparks. Still great. Franz Ferdinands collaboration with them was for a reason. They're quality, inventive Musicians.

  17. M.... R....

    I Love you Guys!

  18. E.... P....

    I empathise with these lyrics :-) Ah, this is sublime and wonderful <3 Recent, what is more. Sparks age like a fine Highland Single Malt, getting more beautiful and complex with age. I have only just begun my Sparks fandom, and there is a whole world of wonderful Soarks songs to explore. Happy now xxx

    E.... P....

    ps. It's hard to understand why this lovely melody performed in lovely falsetto doesn't have four million views. This is a better caliber of music than I am used to in Post Modernity.

    E.... P....

    Kimono my House!!!!!!

  19. d.... ....

    Me sad. I didn't have a good Christmas in years. December it is for me the period I pay for my sins.

  20. S.... E....

    Happy Christmas 😃

  21. A.... T....

    I'd eat Thai with you guys any day. I'm married to myself, though. I hope I won't get jealous.

  22. M.... R....

    +Paddy Mitchell I heard them last night on the radio and a member was interviewed. :)

  23. D.... F....

    Thank God its Not Christmas-so sad ! :-(

  24. t.... ....

    GENIUSES

  25. c.... ....

    Wonderful .

  26. K.... F....

    just a little piece of musical throwaway genius for the season from Ron and Russell.

    K.... F....

    +Kevin Faulkner : a close listen will reveal something considerably more than throwaway, not to mention brilliant singing.

    K.... F....

    the clue in my view was in the word 'genius' 

  27. N.... S....

    Considering that practically every Christmas record you will hear was recorded over an 8 - 10 period straddling the 70s and early 80s, its really a breath of fresh air to hear something a little whimsical and NEW!!!

  28. D.... B....

    brilliant! so different. loved this band since early days

  29. P.... M....

    will our pathetic radio stations play this beautiful song ? , no they will play the same old drivel very very sad

  30. T.... ....

    I love u guys!  Deflect that S.A.D.& grab the glad. I'll swing at the park wit'chu.

  31. a.... f....

    I`ll eat thai with you!

  32. M.... V....

    Thank God it's not Christmas

    M.... V....

    The best thing about Christmas is being able to ignore it!

  33. D.... T....

    fabulous!

  34. S.... ....

    Will play this a lot this December!

  35. M.... F....

    Sorry The Killers, but this year is Sparks time <3

  36. S.... M....

    Fin
    😂

  37. a.... ....

    "An album by Wings" LOL! Aww, but it's so rude, considering Macca imitated Ron in the video "Coming Up"! XD

    a.... ....

    @Ivan Sushkevich I know that of course. I just thought it was ironic. ;-)

    a.... ....

    2nd hand record shops always seem to be full of Wings albums... draw your own conclusions

    a.... ....

    3 years ago! I thought this was new.

    Yes, I caught that, too. He's saying "things I don't want like an album by Wings". I'd say that's an insult to Wings, which of course is mostly Paul. That's not very nice. And some Wings albums were pretty great. Oh, well. Maybe he just picked it because Wings rhymes with "things".

    a.... ....

    @Steve Someone, perhaps he already had all of them? 🤔 😉😁😁💖

    a.... ....

    Russell joined in with the cover band Baby Lemonade during a rehearsel for Beatles' Sgt. Peppers 40th anniversary in Milan, singing "When I'm 64". He knew the lyrics, so I guess he had heard that tune a couple of times...
    (On Youtube)

  38. N.... ....

    Sparks, the most fun you'll ever have listening to music.

  39. K.... M....

    Thai sound's great for Xmas dinner.Love the song boy's.

  40. D.... A....

    new bjork release- new bowie song and new sparks all in the same week and it's all pretty great stuff - really liking this song :D

  41. I.... T....

    Sparks and Bowie releases on the same day? THIS should be a demonstration to the entire world of how unjustly Sparks has been railroaded out of mass respect. #propstoourpeeps

  42. K.... ....

    Awesome !

  43. R.... D....

    I'm saying a pray. I feel it!

  44. C.... S....

    Now I'm in the Christmas spirit! :D

    C.... S....

    It's about that time once more!!!

  45. S.... P....

    LOL, "The first I heard of kids"---a quip of lyrical genius! R&R, thanks for decking the halls with Snark & Folly!

  46. E.... O....

    I LOVE YOU
