► ABOUT

Greg Lake rose to fame as composer, lyricist, bass player and founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP) and King Crimson, two iconic bands responsible for the creation of prog rock in the 1970s.
As a member of ELP, Lake wrote and recorded countless popular songs including "Lucky Man" and "From the Beginning", with many entering the UK and US singles charts.
When ELP began a hiatus, Lake launched a solo career, beginning with his 1975 single "I Believe in Father Christmas" which reached number two in the UK and has since become a perennial Christmas classic.

► LYRICS

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
But instead, it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
Hallelujah, Noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
