Mott the Hoople - Death May Be Your Santa Claus Lyrics

Artist: Mott the Hoople

Album: Old Records Never Die

  • Songwriters: Verden Allen, Ian Hunter

How long, 'fore you realize you swing?
How long, 'fore you realize you sting
From the good to the bad to the ugly change?
How long, 'fore you start to rearrange?

How long, how long, 'fore you realize that all's strange?

How long, will it take to turn you around?
How long, will it take to bend you down?
It makes you believe in the real exchange?
How long, will it take for me to rearrange?

How long, how long, 'fore you realize that all's strange?

Well I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a, anyway
I don't care what the people may say

I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a, anyway
I don't care what the people may say

How long, 'fore you realize what you missed?
How long, 'fore we we get out and may get pissed?
You get all the books from the Corn Exchange
Really mad at this outrage

How long, how long, 'fore you realize that all's strange?

I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a, anyway
I don't care what the people may say

I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a, anyway
I don't care what the people may say

How long?
How long?
How long?
How long?

Won't you tell me how long?
Won't you tell me how long?
Won't you tell me how long?
Won't you tell me how long?

How long will it take?
How long will it take?
How long will it take?
How long will it take?
