bookmark_borderRed Cups (The Holy Grail)

LYRICS
Good God! Oh, my God!
… turn it to some heavenly colour.

I’ve been inspired to write a new lyric based on your inspiration.
It’s entitled “My Red Cup” (working title The Holy Grail)
All hail The Holy Grail
My cup is red, but usually only on Easter… er, a… I mean Good Friday. Better yet, roll it out during The Last Supper. “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” Now that I think about it, red cups for a long weekend would be Kosher. (Jesus! After all, I am a Jew.) Start with the plain red cup… then by Easter Sunday (when I rise)… turn it into some heavenly hue. If it’s not too much to ask of you? All hail The Holy Grail!

LYRICS
The day you get to say “that baby’s part me”
May the light of the world shine fine
Lay your eyes upon the spectacle of a miracle
Lay your hands upon me… feel mercy

It’s a miracle! A spectacular spectacle for all!

On the same day that you pray you see delivery
Deliver a server from the heavens to make amends
Send a message of hope and scope of humanity
On the same day that we pray and say Amens
A man, woman, human. Amen

LYRICS
In the beginning,
God created the heavens and the Earth
So She could give us a mortal birth
To love

In the ending,
Forever compass
If we should get lost, She can guide us
… through our mess
To love

Every now and then
I start a wondering
When the human race
Will embrace the space
To love

When everyday is Christmas
It’ll be hard to miss
Her eternal closeness
Giving us the bliss
To love

Mass Christmas
Love tidal wave
Mass Christmas
Let the love save

From above
May we never forget nor neglect
To love

Ohh, I thought I heard her say
She wants Santa to come this way
Ohh glorious us

Ohh, she’s God’s gift to the world
She’s what makes the pearly gates pearled
You’ll be answered if you pray

Ohh, she’s got God’s good grace
Angel written all over her face
Hallelujah, ya!
The Lord formed man as of clay

When heaven and earth collide
… hope I’m along for the ride
They say it happened on Christmas Day
Maybe we can get it to stay that way

Angels sing as they cry
Tears of Holy joy supplied
The place is here… the time is nigh

It’s the Grand Celebration
A celebration right at hand
It’s the Grand Celebration
Celebration for the benefit of Man
(hand in hand man hand-in-hand)

A benefit to rid the hypocrites
Loosen up… raise your cup!

A benefit where all can profit
Loosen up… raise your cup!

A benefit for humans to commit
Loosen up… raise your cup!

LYRICS
As the mercury drops
Expectation tops
Awaiting the first flake
Old man winter awake!

Rousts Jack Frost from slumber
Makes the child in us wonder
Dash for the window
Watch the faces glow

Ho, ho, ho

At the first snowflake
Out with the tongue… intake
Covering the treetops
Hoping it never stops

The roads start to cover
School’s gonna be over
Anticipating what we know
Early dismissal here we go!

Ho, ho, ho

LYRICS
Does exploitation of the Christmas Spirit make you wanna cry?
When I see the twinkle in a child’s eye
Then, I know exactly the reason why

The exploration of the Christmas Spirit when you give a toy
Doesn’t matter if they’re a girl or boy
It’s not the cost of the gift they enjoy

Why not give a thought
It amounts to what counts
Why not give a thought
It surmounts the account

LYRICS
If the thing you like the most about this time of year
Are how tipsy people get after a dose of Christmas cheer
Here, hear, hear!

Punch drunk (I thunk punch drunk I thunk…)
Hit in the head with thoughts of love
Punch drunk (I thunk punch drunk I thunk…)
Hit in the heart with the light from above

Oh ya know I hate the debate of Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays
Religion is blind when it comes to being kind and how it saves in so many ways
Rays, rays, raise!

Get knocked out of the place where there’s any space in the race for hate
Even Scrooge shed the stooge when he saw his fate… it’s not too late
Unburden the weight
Please don’t wait

LYRICS
I thought we were gonna have some fun?
Looks like the fun’s come undone
Am I stuck here with you feeling blue

The wrought of gotta get coming on?
An addiction to shoppin’ consumption
That I don’t know… (sorry) I gotta go

Ya know… I’m feeling a little bit better
And I don’t wanna end up a soul debtor
Shall I open my ugly Christmas sweater?

If you don’t know whether you can weather the family get-together
Remember you won’t be around for ever
Let the fear give way to Christmas cheer

Ole man winter is at it again
Chillin’ my bones deep within
From the tips of my toes
Right up to my chin

Ole man winter is at it again
Keepin’ up with the Jones
Get the shopping woes
A fight you can not win

Ole man winter is here once again
Put up the tree get out the trim
Ole man winter brings on lovin’
As we sing a carol and hum a hymn
It warms the chill within

LYRICS
I don’t know if we can go
Dashing through the snow
I don’t have a horse
By the way, I don’t have a sleigh

The way the climate’s changing
From human’s re-arranging
It will be par for the course
If we can’t get snow to lay

Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Don’t know
If we’ll have snow

Will dreams of a white Christmas
Start to fade away
Those days I sure will miss
Oh God hear us pray

Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Don’t know
If we’ll have snow
