Jean Moss - In the Bleak Midwinter Lyrics

In the bleak midwinter
Angels come to play
Bringing light in darkness
Peace on earth they say
Hark the herald angels
Proclaim their news on high
Glad tidings for the future
As New Year draws nigh

But we all know the story
What can mere mortals do?
What happens to the glory
Once the year is new?
Brexit's on our doorstep
If May can cut a deal
Splendid isolation
Unto the breach we sail

Comfort, joy, goodwill to men
And even women too
Love thy neighbour even if
She's gay, black or a Jew
Ditch the new world order
The pyramid of power
No fake news from Murdoch
Nor tweets from Trump's tower

But we all know the story
What can mere mortals do?
What happens to the glory
Once the year is new?
Brexit's on our doorstep
If May can cut a deal
Splendid isolation
Unto the breach we sail

But Lucifer is waiting
With open arms for you
It's much more fun down under
All you have to do
Is rape and pillage and plunder
Lie and frack and steal
Forget about the planet
It's all in the Devil's Deal

But we all know the story
What can mere mortals do?
What happens to the glory
Once the year is new?
Brexit's on our doorstep
If May can cut a deal
Splendid isolation
Unto the breach we sail

So in the bleak midwinter
When angels fly to earth
Wouldn't it be wondrous
To heed their glorious words
No more greedy bankers
No more corrupt MPs
No more hate and bigotry
All peoples walk in peace
