We’ll do it all, everything, on our own We don't need, anything, or anyone

Chorus If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me, And just forget the world

I don’t quite know, how to say, how I feel Those three words, are said too much, they’re not enough

Let’s waste time, chasing cars, around our heads I need your grace, to remind me, to find my own

The rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing of the choir

The holly bears a berry As red as any blood And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good

l Joseph was an old man, and an old man was he When he married Mary in the land of galilee Joseph and Mary walked through an orchard good, Where was cherries and berries, so red as any blood

O then bespoke Mary, so meek and so mild 'Pluck me a cherry for Joseph I am with child'

'Go to the tree, Mary and it shall bow, And the highest branch of all shall bow to Mary's knee'

Then bowed the tallest tree, it bent to Mary's hand, Then she cried 'See Joseph, I have cherries at command

(Canon) 'O eat your cherries Mary, o eat your cherries now, O eat your cherries Mary, that grow upon the bow'

Then Mary plucked a cherry, as red as any blood, And she did travel onward, all with her heavy load

no little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shinet ha the ever lasting light The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

O morning stars together proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God the King and peace to men on earth For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above While mortals sleep , the Angels keep their watch of wondering love

How silently, how silently the wonderous gift is given So god imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin Where meek sounds will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in

This is my Earth, And I live in itIt's one third dirt and two thirds water And it rotates and revolves through space At rather an impressive paceAnd never even messes up my hairAnd here's the really weird thingThe force created by it's spinIs the force that stops the chaos flooding in This is my Earth, And it's fineIt's where I spend the vast majority of my time It's not perfect, but it's mine It's not perfect

This is my country, And I live in itIt's pretty big and nice to walk on And the bloke who runs my countryHas built a demagogueryAnd taught us to be fearful and boringAnd the weirdest thing is that he isConservative of politics But really rather radical of eyebrowsThis is my country, And it's fine…

This is my house, And I live in itIt's made of cracks and photographsWe rent it off a guy who bought it from a guyWho bought it from a guyWhose granddad left it to himAnd the weirdest thing is that this houseHas locks to keep the baddies out But they're mostly used to lock ourselves inThis is my house, And it's fine…

This is my body, And I live in itIt's thirty-one and six months oldIt's changed a lot since it was newIt's done stuff it wasn't built to do I often try to fill it up with wine And the weirdest thing about it isI spend so much time hating it But it never says a bad word about meThis is my body, And it's fine…

This is my brainAnd I live in itIt's made of love and bad song lyricsIt's tucked away behind my eyes Where all my screwed up thoughts can hide Cause God forbid I hurt somebody And the weird thing about a mindIs that every answer that I find Is the basis of a brand new cliche This is my brainAnd it's fineIt's where I spend a vast majority of my time It's not perfect, but it's mine It's not perfect, but it's mine It's not perfect I'm not quite sure I've worked out how to work it It's not perfect, but it's mine But it's mine
