about

It was the 25th December, 1992. And it was going to be a Mega Christmas.

lyrics

Up at six and tinsel on the stairs
Mum and dad are half asleep, but our excitement's theirs
Under the tree, a shiny thing for you
It's Sonic, but this time it is number two

I can't play this
I can't play this game on a master system
They don't know this
Do I have to break their hearts this Christmas

Boxes full of dreams
Sellotape the seams
I’m holding back the screams
Cos all we want are happy families

Another box, and hope is in their eyes
Mum and dad stayed up quite late, just to see us smile
I'm not so sure, that this is for my age
But my brothers could play on the Streets of Rage

But I can't play this
I can't play this game on a master system
They don't know this
Do I have to break their hearts this Christmas

Boxes full of dreams
Sellotape the seams
We're listening to Queen
And all we want are happy families

How could they know, that sixteen bit and eight bit just don't go?
"Play the game, play the game" comes on the stereo
Another box, is brought out from under the tree
Did they assume... backwards compatibility?

This box is bigger than a pair of new red shoes
I think I'm gonna have to tell them the bad news
But I need to open this, I can see it in their eyes
They knew all along, it's a Sega Megadrive!

Boxes full of dreams
Sellotape the seams, now I see
That, crazy as it seems
