This is the acoustic demo of Frightened Rabbit's "Boxing Night" It can be found on 
the State Hospital EP. I've used the lyrics from the mastered EP version of the 
song which can be found on Frightened Rabbit's Soundcloud page. However, if you 
have heard Scott perform it on their YouTube channel the lyrics will be slightly 
different. I've marked asterisks next to altered lyrics.
