GP's (Christmas) Song of the Day: Saint Etienne

By Graeme Whitfield on Dec 23, 08 02:21 PM

I Was Born on Christmas Day isn't Saint Etienne's finest moment, but it's a damn fine tune nonetheless.

A duet with the Charlatans' Tim Burgess, the single didn't exactly set the charts alight when it was released in 1993, but it is a top tune and there's a real sense of melancholy in the lyrics ("Did you know they pulled the town hall down?/I don't think you'd recognise this town.")
