It's so cold in the flat I need some gloves
A scarf, maybe a hot water bottle
A roaring fire - hey, give those logs a shove
With this brass poker, open a bottle
Of whisky, some toast, a cigar. Battle
Against the cold, the dying of the light
Switch over from news reports of struggles
In snow, drift over to sunny and bright
Holiday ads; watch Peter O'Toole's white
Robes flapping in the desert as dunes move
In scorching winds that blister and mottle
A pale face, camels racing to the fight
Listen to Oasis, listen to Love
Or the Beach Boys to melt those ice crystals
PS - I mention Oasis purely because of their name!
Albert Lee's 'Love' or the Beach Boy's Pet Sounds definitely don't sit well with Oasis, they wouldn't warm up any flat.
