Verse 1
It's boxing night,
And I'll celebrate in style
In boxer shorts and spirits, floor littered
With ghosts of bottles past
There's a naked hush
Clawed only in breath and of pulse
Of our heart that is kicking
As though it is desperate to be born
Interlude
Verse 2
And I'm in hostage blind
Deaf to the dim outside
Good Glasgow could burn to it's timber* tonight
And I'd barely blink and I...
Well the clock just stopped
You can cut that on my fucking headstone*
Won't something move so I stop
Staring a hole into the phone
Chorus
You can get me at home
With a drink to ill health
Just me and these walls
And a beaten up chair
On boxing day
Interlude
Verse 3
This is boxing night
And someone lost an eye
Well I swear I've lost the last drop
Of whatever kept me awake alive
And I fell in the forth
From a heavy right hook
To our blushed and swollen face
And in a single blow it's murdered
And then it takes years to waste away
And I can't call you all mine anymore
And I can't call you full stop
But you know you can call me up anytime
Call me whatever the fuck you want
Chorus
You can get me at home
With a drink to ill health
Just me and these walls
And a beaten up chair
You can get me at home
With a drink to ill health
Just me and these walls
And my beaten up chair
On boxing day
