Help me with some christmas lyrics!!

[Pedro]

Just dug this up from the old forum. It seems I posted this on Christmas Day 2007  :shock:  (well, I had to try to make my 1000th post special didn't I?   ).

This came out of a discussion about the blatant commercialism that surrounds Chrimbo. The tune is already written....  

NO ME NO EL

No good no will no glad no tide
No cosy fire no warm inside
No figs no dates no ginger beer
No ho ho ho no season's cheer
No Glüh no wein no bell no peal
No peel no fruit no festive meal
No star no lead no candle bright
No peace on earth no silent night

Heartless and cynical
Cold in the middle
The emotion just gets in your way
The promotion is clinical
Little by little you're making us pay
Keep making us pay

No free no will no gift no find
No thought no count no very kind
No buy no friend no more no nice
No sale no deal just higher price
No bow no wrap no sellotape
No good TV no Great Escape
No get no give no give no love
No time no pray no god above

Pointless and trivial
Shamelessly driven
So devoted to getting your way
You've polluted the miracle
Little by little you take it away
Keep taking away

Killing Christmas
Killing Christmas
Killing Christmas for you

Even now in front of me
All day and night on my TV
"Buy it now, it can be yours just call today"
All my life
We have traded all we should be

Selling Christmas
Selling Christmas
Selling Christmas to you

No more no right no gonna play
No need no greed on Christmas day
No buy no love no win no race
No need no rush just breathing space
No spend no stretch no credit card
No more excess, decision hard
No need no trade no buy no sell
No you no me no me no el

Wide eyed and magical
Right in the middle
This emotion I won't shut away
The true meaning is critical
Little by little I'll cut you away
Keep cutting away
I'll cut you away...[/list]

I'd forgotten how great this was! Love it! (:-D

[James_S]

Genius Pedro!

Those are two words that should always go together!

I think its absolutely brilliant!

[RacingHippo]

If it's not enough to be in the presence of the demi-gods that make up Frost*, there's always Pedro to remind you that they don't have the monopoly on genius.
Absolutely brilliant.

[gr8gonzo]

Amazing, Pedders!

[Mikey]

Amazing, Pedders!

He won't tell you but there's a few of his Jems in Rick's warehouse

Hyperorchestrate

The other me

to name a couple

[PhilHarmonic]

Not quite on the same lines as the originality of Pedro, but I have just remembered that I have a version of Chris Squire's 'Run With Fox' with alternative lyrics of a Chrismassy nature and sung by the man himself.  You'll get the idea fairly quickly....

All together now...

''Now the season, now the question
Time to see what Santa's bought
For the giver and receiver
Let us see what we have got

Are you hopeful, are you haunted?
By the gifts of Christmas past
Face the future undaunted
Made a list or took your chance?

A new pair of socks!
Oh, not again! Hoping for something Nintendo
A new pair of socks!
At least you'll be warm, at least you'll be warm in the cold
(You can go for walks)
And be prepared, be prepared for nice warm toes
In your new pair of socks

Every year the same old story
Never get what you desire
From your aunt in Tobermoray
Don't you think that she would tire of
A new pair of socks!

This time in green
Better than last year - bright yellow
A new pair of socks!
Year after year
Year after year it gets old
Beware of the socks
And be prepared, be prepared for warm and cosy toes

Let us live to get an I-pod
Or a PS2 or 3
mp3 player or computer
One of these would do for me

Have yourselves that certain Christmas
Eat be glad and drink the wine
When you open up that present
Smile, say thank you but don't whine

What can this be from your auntie
It's not in a box
Please don't tell me
Oh, it can't be
A new pair of socks

Beneath the tree, the Christmas tree
While everyone talks
I see a label marked for me
A new pair of socks

I know just what it's going to be
A new pair of socks.....''

Gotta be better than that horrible thing that was pointed out to us in the 'Other bands' section.

[LivingForever]

Pedro, maybe the band are planning to play your version of NMNY as one of the extra special Xmas treats? ;-)

[AnsOnkruid]

Pedro that's absolutely brilliant!
There were more christmassy things like that on the old forum I remember...

[DueyC]

Pedro, maybe the band are planning to play your version of NMNY as one of the extra special Xmas treats? ;-)

Or they could hand out lyric sheets and we'll all sing along?

[Mikey]

There were more christmassy things like that on the old forum I remember...

The Xmas gig intro was there..........
