lyrics

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning

What did they see those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
What did they see those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning

A thousand stranded refugees
Who had to flee from tyranny
The captains they did surely see
On Christmas Day in the morning

The first ship turned and changed its course
It left them there with no remorse
It left them to their fate that day
On Christmas Day in the morning

The second ship sailed slowly by
But but didn't stop, and who knows why?
It didn’t dare to save those souls
On Christmas Day in the morning

The third ship set its anchor down
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
It couldn’t leave those folk to drown
On Christmas Day in the morning

If there’s a heaven and there’s a hell
The fiery waves will surely swell
For those who left the folk to drown
On Christmas day in the morning

For every soul deserves a place
Far from hate and far from fear
It ain't a crime to save a life
On Christmas day in the morning

Imagine a cocktail of beer, Ramones chords, lyrics about the best parts of the shit things in life and a general lack of musical precision and that, my friend, is Gutter Romance. ... more
