about
We're releasing this track early on Bandcamp in a bid to raise money for the St Vincent De Paul. If you enjoy the song, please consider purchasing it and all funds will be donated to Vinnies.

I chose St Vincent De Paul as my Dad has volunteered with them for years and I've seen first hand the difference they make at Christmas.
The song will be available on all streaming platforms from December 18th.
Enjoy! And Merry Christmas, wherever the hell in the world you are.
lyrics
Hey Mam, I hope you're doing well,
I've got a little bit of bad news,
I don't think I'll make it home this year,
The cost of flights flown through the roof.
But Niamh is coming home,
From Barcelona or wherever,
She looks so much older now,
I've seen pictures of her on the tear.
And I suppose I better tell you,
The job disappeared,
I don't think it was my fault though,
It gets quiet over here.
I tried to organise some presents,
Books, no surprises there,
But I messed it up as usual,
Postman says it gets busy this time of year.
But Shane will get you something nice,
He can't wrap for shit,
I know we don't talk as much as we're suppose to,
You get busy and you forget.
At least no one will laugh in mass,
Happens me and him every year,
The O'Sullivans giving us dirty looks,
As they sing Ave Maria,
It gets quiet over here.
It gets quiet over here.
No one's singing over here.
I suppose I'll try and call you,
Though you'll be busy on the day,
Don't feed the dog too much now,
She's not meant to eat off of the plate.
But I guess it's Christmas,
Treat her once for me,
I hope she don't die before I get home,
Do you think she'd even know me?
I miss the cut of the air,
And the smell this time of year,
I miss the madness when we're all home,
It gets quiet over here.
It gets quiet over here.
It gets quiet over here.
