The Last Christmas Lyrics

A five minute break in the midst of preparation
A cigarette to calm your precious nerves
Was it a sound? A reflection in the window?
The sudden presence of another world

But in the deserts of Iran – And in the mountains of Afghanistan
Everybody's happy, everything is fine
Just keep on doing what you do – There'll be no shadow hanging over you
There's no need to worry, oh no – at least not tonight

Your memory drifts to the firm interrogation
With no United Nations by your side
But daddy is rich and your mother is good looking
So hush now little baby, don't you cry

Cause in the deserts of Iran – And in the mountains of Afghanistan
Everybody's happy, everything is fine
Just keep on doing what you do – There'll be no shadow hanging over you
There's no need to worry, oh no – at least not tonight

Aaaa…

Just keep on doing what you do – no acid rain is gonna pour on you
There's no need to worry – at least not tonight

And in the deserts of Iran – And in the mountains of Afghanistan
Everybody's happy, everything's alright
Just keep on doing what you do – There'll be no missiles crashing down on you
There's no need to worry, oh no – at least not tonight

No cause for alarm, they won't do you no harm
Everybody's smiling, everything is fine
And in the ghettos of Sudan – and council houses in Birmingham
There won't be no trouble, oh no – at least not tonight.
