1.	Birthday At Christmas 05:42	lyrics	buy track
It’s my birthday at Christmas but my name’s not Jesus It’s my birthday at Christmas but my name is Dave You could say that I’m a trier but I’m not the new Messiah It’s my birthday at Christmas once again Many years ago one Christmas morning For all humanity a new era dawning There was a baby born so extraordinary For avoidance of confusion I am talking about me! But every year I get the same old story No one available for my birthday party Everyone’s busy with their Christmas plans If I start my own religion maybe they will turn up then As birthdays go, Christmas Day is the worst Out of the holidays, I’d pick any other first New Year or Valentine’s might make you sob At least you’re not competing with the son of God! And do you know what I find really galling? December twenty-fifth’s not His actual birthday We didn’t have Christmas ’til 400 A.D. It was just a Pagan festival, are you f**kin’ kidding me?! It’s my birthday at Christmas but my name’s not Jesus (No I’m not Him!) It’s my birthday at Christmas but my name is Dave (Oh you know my name!) You could say that I’m a trier but I’m not the new Messiah (Not the Messiah!) It’s my birthday at Christmas It’s my birthday at Christmas It’s my birthday at Christmas once again

It’s my birthday at Christmas but my name’s not Jesus It’s my birthday at Christmas but my name is Dave You could say that I’m a trier but I’m not the new Messiah It’s my birthday at Christmas once again Many years ago one Christmas morning For all humanity a new era dawning There was a baby born so extraordinary For avoidance of confusion I am talking about me! But every year I get the same old story No one available for my birthday party Everyone’s busy with their Christmas plans If I start my own religion maybe they will turn up then Once I was the envy of the other kids Piles of Christmas and of birthday gifts Now all I get is just a feeble excuse Just a Christmas card with an afterthought Scribbled "Happy Birthday too!" As birthdays go, Christmas Day is the worst Out of the holidays, I’d pick any other first New Year or Valentine’s might make you sob At least you’re not competing with the son of God! Now I know that I won't bring world peace But some recognition of my birthday please And lest you think a Christmas birthday might be cool To conceive in early April you might really be a fool And do you know what I find really galling? December twenty-fifth’s not His actual birthday We didn’t have Christmas ’til 400 A.D. It was just a Pagan festival, are you f**kin’ kidding me?! It’s my birthday at Christmas but my name’s not Jesus (No I’m not Him!) It’s my birthday at Christmas but my name is Dave (Oh you know my name!) You could say that I’m a trier but I’m not the new Messiah (Not the Messiah!) It’s my birthday at Christmas It’s my birthday at Christmas It’s my birthday at Christmas once again

about

The Flags have done it again! An original Christmas song for 2018. Inspired by a family member, though they are in fact not called Dave. Full download comes with B-side demo version with some verses that didn't make it onto the final version.

The full collection of this and all previous Ragged Flags Christmas songs can be found on the RAGGED CHRISTMAS CRACKERS compilation!
