Artist background

Bastille broke through with “Pompeii”, combining Dan Smith’s distinctive voice with a chorus built for communal singing. Their version of Slade’s “Merry Xmas Everybody” brings a familiar Christmas favourite into the band’s repertoire. It’s a chance to hear those well-known words through a different pop voice, while keeping the invitation to join in firmly intact.

Show Lyrics — Merry Xmas Everybody
Are you hanging up a stocking on the wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you've got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell you
That the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rolling with the rest

So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

What will your daddy do when he sees your momma kissing Santa Claus?
Ahh

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been "sleighed"

So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Won't you look to the future now
It's only just begun
