Christmas
The Who cover. The Flaming Lips also included a portion of "Christmas" in their Tommy Medley.
Flaming Lips Version
Have you ever seen the faces of the children
They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean
Including heaven's generosity
Peeping round the door
To see what parcels are for free
In curiosity
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you fucking hear me?
How can he be saved?
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
Have you ever seen the faces of the children
They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean
Including heaven's generosity
Peeping round the door
To see what parcels are for free
In curiosity
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you fucking hear me?
How can he be saved?
Touch me, heal me
