Intro

G5 (Hammer the root note in all instances of this chord)

Verse 1

It's boxing night,

  And I'll celebrate in style

 In boxer shorts and spirits, floor littered

 With ghosts of bottles past

 There's a naked hush

 Clawed only in breath and of pulse

 Of our heart that is kicking

 As though it is desperate to be born

Interlude

Verse 2

And I'm in hostage blind

Deaf to the dim outside

 Good Glasgow could burn to it's timber* tonight

 And I'd barely blink and I...

 Well the clock just stopped

 You can cut that on my fucking headstone*

 Won't something move so I stop

 Staring a hole into the phone

Chorus

 You can get me at home

 With a drink to ill health

 Just me and these walls

 And a beaten up chair

 On boxing day

Interlude

Verse 3

 This is boxing night

 And someone lost an eye

 Well I swear I've lost the last drop

 Of whatever kept me awake alive

 And I fell in the forth

From a heavy right hook

 To our blushed and swollen face

 And in a single blow it's murdered

 And then it takes years to waste away

 And I can't call you all mine anymore

 And I can't call you full stop

 But you know you can call me up anytime

 Call me whatever the fuck you want

Chorus

 You can get me at home

 With a drink to ill health

 Just me and these walls

 And a beaten up chair

 You can get me at home

 With a drink to ill health

 Just me and these walls

 And my beaten up chair

 On boxing day
