Pet Shop Boys

It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas — Pet Shop Boys

Music group: Pet Shop Boys

Artist background

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe brought thoughtful lyrics and electronic pop together in Pet Shop Boys, breaking through with “West End Girls”. Their seasonal contribution, “It Doesn’t Often Snow at Christmas”, keeps that dry wit intact. It’s a Christmas song with dancing shoes on and a refreshingly realistic view of the British weather.

Show Lyrics — It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas
Christmas is not all it's cracked up to be
Families fighting around a plastic tree
Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see
And it's hardly ever snowing

The way it's meant to be
Like in White Christmas year after year
Bing Crosby, Bring Crosby
Are you listening to me?

It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you

The Christmas message was long ago lost
Now it's all about shopping and how much things cost
It's meant to be goodwill as well as synthetic fun
And what this is this year's festive number one

It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you

Neil: Merry Christmas
Chris: And a happy new year
