btw - I still can't get over how bitter sweet Greg Lakes lyrics are... proper cynical wrapped up in glorious music...

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve.

My reply from a thread very similar a bit back. Like when i had normal size breasts and brain cells and a social life and shit:

Fave Christmas song.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I luuuuuuurve Christmas like mad, and as yet i am nowhere near sick of it (despite eating a disturbing large amount of mince pies, and having 2 trees, and already eating prac a tin of clebrations, and going Chrostmas shopping for two days solid!). We have had about 4 diff Xmas albums on pretty much constant rotation at our gaff, and yesterday we bought a Christmas cd for the car .

My top three festive songs are:

1, The Waitresses- Christmas Wrapping.
2, John and Yoko- So this is Christmas.
3, John Lewie- Stop the Cavalry.

Whats yours?

The pogues - fairytale of New York..:thumbsup:
fooking love it


It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

Lol reminds me of a Hey Kitty Woof! song i did for Jonno:

Little bellend, little bellend
Hairy lychee's, hairy lychee's
Ginger pubes, ginger pubes!

Okay so it looks shit of paper, but this baby is all about the melody all-fucking-right!:condom:

Always remember how witty we thought we were at primary school :p

We three Kings of Orient are
One in a taxi, one in a car
One on a scooter
Papping his hooter
Smoking a big cigar

O star of wonder
Star of light
Sat on a box of dynamite
Light the fuse and off we go
Down the road to Mexico

just throught of a class one

treacherous three - santa rap ( from beat street film )

YouTube - Beat Street Santa's Rap :thumbsup:

I'm Santa Claus and guess what y'all
I got something to show
I came to bring some Christmas Spirit
I got a big bag now guess what's in it
Something for the rich and something for the po
So Merry Christmas and ho ho ho

L.A. Sunshine:
Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas my foot
I'ma tell you what Santa really put
under my so-called tree but in reality
looked like nothin but a decorated pole to me

Special K:
Man, you talk about a tree it makes wonder
cause I never had a tree to put anything under
if I ever did luck up and get a tree
there was never anything under it for me

Kool Moe Dee:
Man I don't what y'all talking about
cause when I come to your town I just get kicked out
You think I'm getting presents made for free
I gotta pay them elves and ain't nobody paying me

L.A. Sunshine:
You big fat whale you might as well quit
cause I can name a hundred presents that I didn't get
and if I did get a present it would be a hand-me-down
Yo I got this for Christmas now how that sound

Special K:
It sounds good to me cause I'm about to freeze
you wanna see something look at the bottom of these
me and brothers can't go out at the same time
cause a coat that's theirs is a coat that's mine

Kool Moe Dee:
Man I know one thing y'all better get off my neck
and wait till you get ya welfare check
go on down to the office and stand in the line
better hurry up see I got mine

Chorus:
Jingle, Jangle, Jingle for the po
and once you get your welfare check
Yo kiss my mistletoe
Ho Ho Ho
Ho Ho Ho

L.A. Sunshine:
That's why the presents keep getting mixed up
cause year after year you keep fucking up
and now I know why cause you always drunk
instead of G.I. Joe you send me this junk

Special K:
That ain't a G.I. Joe that's a G.I. jerk
with a kungfu grip that don't even work
so all I did was just put him away
cause my G.I. Joe looked G.I. gay

Kool Moe Dee:
That's why you don't get presents now
cause you're just ingrates
if the G.I. Joe is gay what difference does it make
after all he's just a doll ain't too much he can do
if you ask me boy I ain't to sure about

L.A. Sunshine:
Listen bloato in your big fat suit
next time say no don't send no substitute
cause I asked you for a beatbox and you know what I got?
Dougie Fresh, you know that kid from down the block

Dougie Fresh:(beatboxing)

Special K:
For a fascimile we must admit
Dougie Fresh was good and made a perfect fit
He's the only reason why we weren't totally mad
Without Dougie our Christmas would've been really sad

Kool Moe Dee:
Well let's get Doug E. Fresh and Magnificent Force
and head on out the do
and leave these partypeople singing
Jingle, Jangle for the po
Sing!
