Lyrics
Intro
Upbeat, slightly jangly, synth-pop intro – The Human League meets Wham! with local yellow flair.
Verse
The snow is falling softly, a blanket over town
But we're still knocking on doors, even though the sun is down
With our winter rosettes, and smiles upon our face
Fighting for community, in every single place!
The big parties are shouting, all noise and silly fights
But we’re here to listen, and make things feel just right.
Pre-chorus
No one's talking about sewer pollution, it's a festive shame!
But we’ve got a motion ready, calling out the Water Game!
We don't promise unicorns, or sleigh rides in the air
Just a sensible tax reform, and maybe a little flair!
Chorus
Oh, it’s a Liberal Democrat Christmas!
Jingle bells and local polls!
We're campaigning in the cold mist
Putting potholes on our scrolls!
A fairer future, a bright new dawn
We'll be out there 'til the morning!
Forget the red, forget the blue,
Yellow is the colour that rings true!
Lib Dem! Lib Dem! Yeah!
Verse
The mince pies are warming, the mulled wine’s in the cup
Another town hall meeting, to see what's bubbling up.
We're fixing up the pavements, we're saving every library
Talking proportional representation, right beside the Christmas tree.
The national gridlock makes the news a gloomy sight
But our leaflets are shimmering, catching the fairy light.
Pre-chorus
No one's talking about sewer pollution, it's a festive shame!
But we’ve got a motion ready, calling out the Water Game!
We don't promise unicorns, or sleigh rides in the air
Just a sensible tax reform, and maybe a little flair!
Chorus
Oh, it’s a Liberal Democrat Christmas!
Jingle bells and local polls!
We're campaigning in the cold mist
Putting potholes on our scrolls!
A fairer future, a bright new dawn
We'll be out there 'til the morning!
Forget the red, forget the blue,
Yellow is the colour that rings true!
Lib Dem! Lib Dem! Yeah!
Bridge
We’re not in it for the glory, or the front bench big debates
We're here for the third way, standing at your garden gates.
From Tiverton to Chesham, a by-election cheer!
We’re the pragmatic optimists, bringing hope this year!
guitar/synth solo
Brief, competent, hopeful major-key solo with bouncy, optimistic bassline.
Chorus
Oh, it’s a Liberal Democrat Christmas!
Jingle bells and local polls!
We're campaigning in the cold mist
Putting potholes on our scrolls!
A fairer future, a bright new dawn
We'll be out there 'til the morning!
Forget the red, forget the blue,
Yellow is the colour that rings true!
Lib Dem! Lib Dem! Yeah!
Outro
Happy Christmas, sensible people!
Don't forget to check your council ward!
Fade out with repetitive "Lib Dem, Lib Dem, Lib Dem" and a final, hopeful chime.
