Noget om valg og julemænd

12. december 2019

When I was small I believed in santa claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at christmas
Open my presents and I’d be glad

But the last time I played father christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father christmas, give us some money
Don’t mess around with those silly toys.
Well beat you up if you don’t hand it over
We want your bread so don’t make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don’t give my brother a steve austin outfit
Don’t give my sister a cuddly toy
We don’t want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real mccoy

Father christmas, give us some money
Well beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father christmas, give us some money
Don’t mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
Hes got lots of mouths to feed
But if youve got one, I’ll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you don’t hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin
While you’re drinkin down your wine

Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you don’t hand it over
We want your bread, so don’t make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Briterne går til valg i dag, og skal vælge mellem Boris Johnsons konservativisme og Jeremy Corbyns gammeldags socialdemokratisme. Mellem et samfund, der forkæler den rige minoritet eller reducerer afstanden mellem de få, der har for meget, og de mange, der har for lidt.  Og samtidig skal briterne forholde sig til den jul, der står lige for døre og banker på.

Kinks Ray Davies har skrevet en julesang, en sang om julemanden, som fletter julen sammen med det klassesamfund, Davies kender så godt og ofte har spiddet i sine sange.
