Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The fractals are falling
Wonder if they’ll lay?
Even a light dusting
Would be OK
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

The snowballs are flying
Better duck and/or sway
The wind blow is drifting
The fractals disarray
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

The runners are gliding
We’re on our way
The bonfire is burning
On a waning winters day
Let’s go out and play
What do you say?
Ride on a sleigh
Slide… on our way

Posted on by admin

Traditional English Carol

    Em                            C              B7
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
    Em                           C              B7
For Jesus Christ our Saviour was born upon this day
   Am               G                  Em            D
To save us all from Satan's pow'r when we were gone astray
  G          B7          Em               D
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
  G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly Father a blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway this blessed Babe to find
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

But when to Bethlehem they came whereat this Infant lay
They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling unto the Lord did pray

Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas all other doth deface

Going out on…
Going out on…
Going out on a limb

Baked in the cake
Baby comes tumblin’, tumblin’ down

Needed time for my head
After what you said
Needed time for my head

Bled out the red

LYRICS
There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
A smother of brother on brother
(Oh, brother!)

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
The twisted
Sister on sister
(Oh, brother!)

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
Child gone wild
Rant upon parent

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

There’s trouble and turmoil
Above the soil
The hostility in humanity
… beyond me

A simple soul
… with an earthly goal

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Maybe a fire will help inspire
As song for a sing-a-long
We can sit close and rub our noses
Under the mistletoe practicing poses
A Christmas picture
For our future
… to endure

Sit by the fire
Take spirits higher
Sing a long
To our song
Wrapping gifts
Gives a lift
Thought of snow and memory drift
A Christmas picture
Of our future
… to endure

Bring on the Christmas Spirit
And make it quick
Bring on the Christmas Spirit
And never quit
Make it last all day
Then get it to stay
Make it last all night
Straight through to dawn’s twilight

Pile on the Christmas Spirit
And make it thick
Pile on the Christmas Spirit
And quite a bit
Make it last all day
Then get it to stay
Make it last all night
Straight through to dawn’s twilight

Then get it to stay
Make it last all night
Straight through to dawn’s twilight

LYRICS
Know that
Your brother’s insane
No, you’re not your brother’s keeper
Make your great escape
Before it gets deeper
Doesn’t run in the family
Runs out
Without a doubt
You needn’t remain
Run, run into the son
That he use to be
’cause he doesn’t know me

LYRICS
Well, when you put it like that
How can I dispute the fact
Oh, worm and wiggle I will
Until I still never will
Accept reality
’cause it ain’t pretty
And my self-pity
Distracts me
So, for now
It’s a pity party
No self-respect
No self-responsibility
Just a reject
In regret-ability
