Lieutenant Kijé
The instrumental riff between verses comes from the "Troika" portion of Sergei Prokofiev's "Lieutenant Kijé Suite", written for the 1934 Soviet film "Lieutenant Kijé"; this was added at the suggestion of Keith Emerson (an adaptation of the same song was used on Emerson's later Christmas album). Sinfield described the song as "a picture-postcard Christmas, with morbid edges."
