Pitch Glacier
02:19
|
|||
it's 4 o'clock and dark outside
that sickly light finally euthanised
the days are short
but feel stretched out
and oh, those covid nights!
they flow like a pitch glacier
and I been counting down the days
I been counting down the days
tree up at november's start,
an offering;
to try bring forth december
summoning december,
but time slows like a pitch glacier
this year, slow and horrible,
just holding on for christmas
like that's somehow gonna solve it all?
just holding out for christmas

I been warding off bad weather
yeah I repel those evil spirits
spread word of the approaching war
sounding a midwinterhoorn
I warn the neighbours of this danger
yeah would you summon up some help
spread word of the invading hordes
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn
sounding a midwinterhoorn

Conquered Sun
02:08
|
|||
block it out
block it out
don't let any light seep through
shut it out
shut it out
don't let anything come through
shut it down
shut it down
don't let anyone get through
these are the days of the conquered sun
and I just wanna see the light again
and I just wanna feel that light again
I just wanna hold my friends again
in the glow of that unconquered sun!

|||
baby it's cold outside
but hot out on the dancefloor
you pull your body close and we
get grinding some more
and we exchange spit
before we exchange names
boy I wanna lick your, lick your
candy cane
boy I wanna lick your, lick your
candy cane
boy I wanna lick your, lick your
candy cane

Clementine / Coal
02:53
|
|||
boy you are the clementine
and I am the coal
you bring all the sweetness
and I'm just blackened soul
oh you're new life
and I feel 400 million years old
boy you are the clementine
and I am the coal
(oh-o-oh)
the winter took a piece of my soul
(sou-ou-ul)
replaced it with a lump of coal
(co-oa-al)
my only hope is that the weight of the world
(wo-o-orld)
will turn it into diamond
(oh-o-oh)
I know I've been bad this year
(oh-o-oh)
so cross me of your list
(oh-o-oh)
I know it's been bad this year
(oh-o-oh)
I know it's been bad, been bad
boy you are the clementine
and I am the coal
you bring all the sweetness
and I'm just blackened soul
oh you're new life
and I feel 400 million years old
boy you are the clementine
and I am the coal

a patternless and endless snow
attend the fire in our home
I rub where his wings would grow
and push the mud out of his bones

Sheffield, 2010
02:54
|
|||
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

Brighter, Brighter!
01:53
|

[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

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

[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]
