Frightened Rabbit - Cheap Gold

from Home For The Holidays: A Christmas Songbook by Shelter Scotland

/

lyrics

Cheap gold drips from dressed up trees
Cheap gold lines the salted streets
Cheap gold, and a gift receipt
in case it’s not what she wants

Cheap gold; the ring on the familiar hand she holds
The cross on a necklace that he bought
wrapped in cheap gold paper
hoping it would be enough to keep her

Cheap gold and the tarnished silver snow
from a doorway two souls fall
into the Lothian winter
falling down like heavy drinkers
Take the steamed up taxi home
Suck a hip flask to stay warm
Ignore the hardened winter
Swap a kiss for a stiff ring-finger
the thought that counted has gone missing
You feel so cheap but remember this
It’s not for life it’s just for Christmas
