Lyrics

The Tourist
This time of year we all come together
But not 'cause we really like one another
We have to by family, by mercy for Granny

I know that's cold, but it never gets cold around here
It never snows, no angels appear
Just demons we're keeping discreet for the season

I haven't seen you all year but I don't want to hear all about it
Just give me a hug, m'dear

This time of year we all come together
But now we're ready to kill one another
God bless us, God save us, we're family

All We Needed Was Peace
by Atlum Schema

all we needed was peace
all we needed was peace
all we needed was pieces of happiness drawn from the pictures of dreams

put a log on the fire
fill our glasses again
we'll stay up eating nibbles and wagging our chins with our eyes giving in

all we needed was peace
all we needed was peace
all we needed was pieces of happiness drawn from the pictures of dreams

bring the family home
its like nothing had changed
open presents, drink coffee and whittle away with a grin on your face

all we needed was peace
all we needed was peace
all we needed was pieces of happiness drawn from the pictures of dreams

bells ring out, they're inviting us home to rest
your arms stretch out, im in solitary peace again
lights give out a warmth that i'll never forget,
fragrances will be chasing me, kissing me

If This Thing Should Spill
by Born In The Flood

Peace come & hold me now
Peace stand forever
Peace like a soft cool breeze
Peace at the wailing wall
Peace come together
Peace to all nation's grief
Peace ever lasting love
Peace reigns forever
Peace wouldn't crush the least

If this thing should spill
Will it cover us

Peace ready overflow
Peace willing waiting
Peace isn't contrite yet
Peace fill this room & us
Peace will we wake up
Peace hold us up again

If this thing should spill
Will it cover us

When it comes a covering
Up to our eyes
We won't have the will to swim around
around.

Starting To Snow
by Bean & Bird

My little nosey is cold and rosey
Freckles are fading from my head to my toesies.
Oh woah oh oh
And it's starting to snow

Oh how early it gets dark
Lets walk to McCarren Park
and play a game of throwing snow
dressed as eskimos
oh woah oh oh
And it's starting to snow

And for Christmas I want just one thing
not even a bicycle painted green
with a basket for a puppy
so his paws dont get muddy
I just wanna make snow angels with you
and maybe a kiss or two

I could make us tea for two
and i just wanna fall inlove with you
And i bet that you have no clue
that im really falling hard for you

oh woah oh oh
and its starting to snow

and for christmas i want just one thing
not even a bicycle painted green
maybe a basket for a puppy (I love puppies)
so his paws dont get muddy (ew gross!)
i just wanna make snow angels with you
and maybe a kiss or two

It's Never The Same Snowflake
by Evan McHugh

All the leaves are gone
Everyday is now a holiday
Look what I have bought
For myself and for some relatives
All the same, it's always the same

The invitations come
There's a party every Saturday
Searching for the one
To keep you warm every other day
All the same, it's always the same

It's a wonderous site
Sick of seeing the same
Living off of nothing but steady rain
Sitting under their flight
Fighting over the air
Taking off and landing without a care

It's never the same
It's never the same snowflake

The Other Side Of The Season
by Sean Best

You tell me you want to hear
Anything would be nice
And I remember the sound of noise
And how I thought twice

But you remember this town I know
Its some place we have to be
For now I want to be somewhere else
And this place is out of reach

Tell me now
That I could give you somehow
And I would mean for us
To get away for love

Something's sure
To make a difference for now
Tell me how
You'd wait for me

I hope...

So this season I'll be warm
As I'm telling you I can't hear
But you will wait for me all your choice
And I will be unclear

You don't want to find anyone
But I could tell you that you'd be mine
While you wanna have control
I found it harder to try

But I could tell you now
You'd be forgiven somehow
For I will give you this love
From the pieces that are left

But you will me make pray
If I just look your way
And now I may be wrong
But I could feel you so strongly

As I float away...
I float away...

Don't you worry
Don't you care
