My Christmas: Grant Hutchison (Frightened Rabbit)

When we asked Frightened Rabbit drummer Grant Hutchison for his Christmas message, he replied with an original Christmas poem. An instant classic, we're sure you'll agree...


As the first snow falls on the glistening ground
The sound of drunk songs can be heard all around
The smashing of glass and the kissing of faces
And two f***ing neds drawing blades at ten paces

The lights on Buchanan Street glimmer with pride
And shoppers they come and they go like the tide
It's Christmas in Glasgow and everything's rosy
With Buckfast galore to keep one and all cosy

It's a chance for us all to just and sit in our pants
And pile on the pounds and have X Factor rants
As cards are replaced with a mass festive text
We wonder which Christmas song will Cliff bastardise next?

Exercise makes way for Trivial Pursuit
The only thing healthy is booze soaked fruit
Unwanted presents are a thing of the past
As Amazon's wish list makes shopping easy and fast

Our wages are spent before we even know
On Spongebob guitars and cans of fake snow
Jamie, Nigella or Delia Smith?
Who's turkey tastes better when burnt to a crisp?

And once it's all over it's back to real life
Where the people are sadder and normality's rife
But at the end of all that it's a sure fire thing
That at least you were drunk so won't remember a thing!
