when I met you, I was talking through the haze like my ears were underwater, I've been hungover for days on the second of the twelfth you say "at least you've got your health" well I forced myself to vomit in a toilet cubicle just minutes ago oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, and I romanticised the city, I romanticised the snow but now it's fucking freezing out and I have barely got a coat the city with hills now it's making me ill and if you throw another snowball I will throw a fucking brick oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, (oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no) one last visit to the north before the new year breaks my heart it wasn't meant to be like this, wasn't meant to be so hard wasn't meant to be so hard wasn't meant to be so hard wasn't meant to be so hard

[you can't understand] the night shines much brighter, brighter brighter when it snows

(the nights shine much brighter when it snows) I just wanna look out my window and see a world reborn, renewed I just wanna smother all this bullshit in a blanket in a foot or two of snow yeah come on, won't you cover all this bullshit when it snows, maybe I'll finally leave the house it's been a year of mission drift let all that ugliness go missing in the drifts
13.
Robert Frost - 1874-1963 Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

River 02:38
it's coming on christmas they're cutting down trees they're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on but it don't snow here it stays pretty green I'm gonna make a lot of money then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry he tried hard to help me you know, he put me at ease and he loved me so naughty made me weak in the knees oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [I made my baby, I made my baby cry] but I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish, I'm sad now I've lost the best baby that I ever had I wish I had a river I could skate away on [I made my baby, I made my baby cry] I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry
15.
[I made my baby, I made my baby cry] he tried hard to help me you know, he put me at ease [I made my baby, I made my baby cry] and he loved me so naughty made me weak in the knees [I made my baby cry] but I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish, I'm sad [I made my baby, I made my baby cry] now I've lost the best baby that I ever had [I made my baby cry]
