about

Recorded in Lamplight Studios by Stephen Dunne.

lyrics

Checking off on a list of things to do
Filling all of the balloons with nitrogen and CO2
The guests are all arriving in their droves
And the stew is waiting quietly on the stove
All the gifts are piling to the sky
And the wine and fish are more than meets the eye
The birthday boy is greeting all his friends
With a kiss upon the cheek he sees them in

But were you there
When they crucified the birthday boy
Where you there
When they hung him on the cross
Sometimes he's blowing out the candles
Were you there
When they crucified the birthday boy

The scene has turned into a grand affair
With the swinging sounds of gospel through the air
"We're dancing in the garden with our friends"
Til the police demands the party comes to an end
The birthday boy is hauled into the van
And the guests are leaving as quickly as they can
But the goodie-bags have all been left behind
And no-one's even touched the last few bottles of red wine
