U2 - I Believe In Father Christmas

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just keeps on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember on Christmas morning
A winters 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
they sold me a fairy story
But, I believe in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at 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 you get you deserve.

La la la la la la la la la la....

The original by Greg Lake is also quite beautiful, he has a wonderful voice. But the guitar work by The Edge and the slightly altered lyrics is what really sold this one for me.
