Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now let's not talk of Christmas
Everybody's in denial
The honey bees
Move in the breeze
We pick the fruit
Straight from the trees

[Refrain 1]
It's still September
I hear the cash tills ring
It's still September
I listen as they ring
It's still September
I listen as they ring

[Verse 2]
The autumn light glows
In distrust
At all the fuss
Delayed gratification
A discipline
We all have lost

[Refrain 2]
It's still October
I hear the cash tills ring
It's still October
I listen as they ring

[Verse 3]
The young ones know no different
The old ones know too much
Of memories
That used to please
Nostalgia's curse
All men will feel

[Refrain 3]
It's still November
I hear the cash tills ring
It's still November
I listen as they ring

[Bridge]
Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen, how they ring

Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen, how they ring

[Verse 4]
For the ones who live alone now
With the heating turned low
Her family's scattered
Far away
A video call
Brings joy home

[Refrain 4]
It's now December
I hear the church bells ring
It's now December
I listen as they ring

[Outro]
Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen, how they ring

Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen, how they ring
