The lights are bright and windows filled with all things that sparkle
The party dresses are on display
The sound of hustle and bustle as shoppers trip into stores
Slaves to the lists from children wanting more
Hark! Heads down busily texting
Tweeting, messaging, updating or checking in
Better hurry quick because the chaos will begin...
Hark! Heads down busily texting
A quick selfie, post it, begging for validation as the “gorgeous,” comment appears
Hark! Heads down busily texting
Quick upload that snap of your food or wine
Another message sent, all is fine
Your day is passing, it's a gift, it’s for free
Hark! Heads down busily texting you just do not see.
The night air grows cold as the car parks empty.
The rush home of shoppers who amassed aplenty.
The sparkles have gone out and they’re worse for wear
The streets are a mess, but does anyone care?
Festive Distress-tive what a wonderful time
Festive Distress-tive how I’m glad you’re not mine
