Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, literally "Christ's mass") is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday by billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.
The precise year of Jesus' birth, which some historians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown. By the early-to-mid 4th century, Western Christianity had placed Christmas on December 25, a date later adopted in the East. The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after the Annunciation, the date Christians believe Jesus to have been conceived, (as well as the date of the southern solstice, i.e., the Roman winter solstice), with a sun connection being possible because Christians consider Jesus to be the "Sun of righteousness" prophesied in Malachi 4:2.
Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and released her self-titled debut studio album, Mariah Carey. The album went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records, including Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993) and Merry Christmas (1994), established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995), made music history when the second single, "One Sweet Day" a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest running number one song in US chart history. During the recording of the album Carey began to deviate from her pop background, and slowly traversed into R&B and Hip-hop. After her separation from Mottola, this musical change was evident with the release of Butterfly (1997).
Seth Rogen (pronounced /ˈroʊɡɪn/; born April 15, 1982) is a Canadian stand-up comedian, actor, producer, screenwriter, and voice artist. Rogen began his career doing stand-up comedy during his teen years, winning the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest in 1998. While still living in his native Vancouver, he landed a small part in Freaks and Geeks. Shortly after Rogen moved to Los Angeles for his role, Freaks and Geeks was canceled after one season due to poor ratings. He then got a part on the equally short-lived Undeclared, which also hired him as a staff writer.
After landing a job as a staff writer on the final season of Da Ali G Show, for which Rogen and the other writers received an Emmy nomination, he was guided by film producer Judd Apatow toward a film career. Rogen was cast in a major supporting role and credited as a co-producer in Apatow's directorial debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. After Rogen received critical praise for that performance, Universal Pictures agreed to cast him as the lead in Apatow's directorial feature films Knocked Up and Funny People. Rogen and his comedy partner Evan Goldberg co-wrote the films Superbad, Pineapple Express, and The Green Hornet. Rogen has done voice work for the films Horton Hears a Who!, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens, and Paul. He married fellow screenwriter Lauren Miller in October 2011.
James Edward Franco (born April 19, 1978) is an American actor. His first prominent role was a lead part on the short-lived cult hit television program Freaks and Geeks; he later achieved recognition for playing the titular character in the TV biographical film James Dean (2001), for which he was awarded a Golden Globe Award. He achieved international fame with his portrayals of Harry Osborn in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.
Franco has won or been nominated for a number of awards. He has done both dramatic and comedic work in projects and has appeared in an eclectic range of films since the 2000s, ranging from period to contemporary pieces, and from major Hollywood productions to less publicized indie films, as well as fantasy films to biopics and soap operas. Other notable films include Pineapple Express, a 2008 stoner comedy that earned him his second Golden Globes nomination; the 2008 Harvey Milk-biopic Milk; and Danny Boyle's 2010 drama film 127 Hours, about real-life mountain climber Aron Ralston's struggle to free his hand from a boulder. His performance in 127 Hours earned him nominations for many high-profile awards, including the Academy Awards, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards. In 2011, he starred opposite Andy Serkis in Rupert Wyatt's successful science fiction film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, a reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise. Since 2009, he has played a recurring role in the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital.
You always come around this time of year
With your big ole bag that's full of Christmas cheer
And when it starts to snow the little boys and girls
All know soon they'll hear the sound of your reindeer
Now sometimes grown ups grow up to believe
That you don't really come on Christmas Eve
But I don't think that's true 'cause I know
I see you in sparking little eyes around the tree
Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And it's time to play ole Santa Clause tonight
Well I don't see how anybody could ever doubt
That there's really a Santa Clause
Not if they've ever seen a little girl with her arms
Wrapped around her baby doll
So tight both of 'em waking up
Mama and Daddy way before daylight
And Grandma and Grandpa are looking young and full of life
Just knowin' that their grandkids are gonna be alright
And Mama and Daddy, they'll be
Waitin' up to answer ole Santa's call
'Cause tonight they ain't worried about the bills
Lord they're just lovin' it all
Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And I'll be waiting up for you tonight, ho ho ho
[Father:]
Did you ever see the faces of children
They get so excited.
Waking up on christmas morning
Hours before the winter 1's ignited.
They believe in dreams and all they mean
Including heavens generosity.
Peeping round the door
to see what parcels are for free
In curiosity.
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is.
How can he be saved?
From the eternal grave.
Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently,
And unaware of everything.
Playing poxy pin ball
picks his nose and smiles and
Pokes his tongue at everything.
I believe in love
but how can men who've never seen
Light be enlightened.
Only if he's cured
will his spirits future level ever heighten.
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is.
How can he be saved?
>From the eternal grave.
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
How can he be saved?
[Tommy:]
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me!
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
How can he be saved?
Lyrics:
They turn 'way Mary and Josef
'Way from the inn
They turn 'way Mary and Josef
'Way from the inn
They turn 'way Mary and Josef
'Way from the inn
That's what made the glory Manger
And the Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Wasn't that a bright Bethlehem morning
All around the glory manger
There in a stable she born him
Cold winter night
There in a stable she born him
Cold winter night
And there in a stable she born him
On a cold winter night
And sanctified the glory manger
And the Hallelujah Hallelujah
Wasn't that a bright Bethlehem morning
All around the glory manger
And all his pretty little fingers played in the straw
All his pretty little fingers played in the straw
And all his pretty little fingers played in the straw
That's what made the glory manger
And the Hallelujah Hallelujah
Wasn't that a bright Bethlehem morning
All around the glory manger
Walking on a cold December morning
Snowflakes falling down, in the silence of the dawn
In loneliness I dream away
I'm looking forward to Christmas day
To the highlight of the year
Christmas when the sleighbells sounds so bright
Christmas oh so wonderful and white
Love and understanding, peace in every way
Oh Christmas could you be here every day
Living it ain't worth while when you're lonely
All those wintry nights, grow longer day by day
The only comfort the light I see
It's coming from the Christmas tree
The highlight of the year
Christmas when the sleighbells sounds so bright
Christmas oh so wonderful and white
Love and understanding, peace in every way
Oh Christmas could you be here every day
The world goes 'round again and again
And seems to stop on these precious nights
Christmas when the sleighbells sounds so bright
Christmas oh so wonderful and white
Love and understanding, peace in every way
Did you ever see the faces of the children? They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning, hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean including heavens generosity
Peeping round the door to see what parcels are for me, in curiosity
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved? From the eternal grave
Surrounded by his friends, he sits so silently, and unaware of anything
Playing proxy pin ball, picks his nose and smiles and
Pokes his tongue, and everything, I believe in dreams
But how can men who've never seen light be enlightened?
Only if he's cured, will his spirits future level ever heighten?
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
ah caca, scale skin, left alone

"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King...Oh when we come"
[solo: Mike]
It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
It's Christmas again...It'll never be the same
And as the snow is falling from the sky
All I wanna do is cry
I got to get away from here
I gotta get away........
By tomorrow, I will be gone
By tomorrow, I'll see the sun again
But tonight...I am...The Little Drummer boy
Tonight...I am...the one who will destroy
The secrets never told before
Of those who lost their souls
There are sad things in the Darkness
There are sad things all around us
It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same
[solo: Andy]
"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King..."
Now here I go
I'm falling on my face, drum breaking on the stage
Oh My God it's such a big disgrace
It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
[solo: Mike]
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of ninety-nine...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know, it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light leads
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Oh, Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light leads
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams, if only in my dreams
Here comes Santa clause
Walking right down my street
Write him a long, long letter
He don't know what's wrong with me
Honey please
Come on home
There goes Santa clause
In his bright red sled
Wrote him a long, long letter
He didn't read one word I said
Honey please
Come on home
Now this Christmas will be lonely
If I'm waiting here alone
I stayed up late
I wrote I called it did not good at all
I decked the tree I wish you'd just picked me
This ain't no fun
Here comes Santa clause
Coming back up my street
Baby walking hand in hand
Man she sure looks sweet
Honey please come on in
Now this Christmas wont be lonely
Cause I got you back again
Did you ever see the faces of the children?
They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean
Including heaven's generosity
Peeping 'round the door
To see what parcels are for free in curiosity
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Can you, can you hear me?
How can he be saved?
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
See me, feel me
Touch me, heal me
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you, can you, can you hear me?

Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean
Including heaven's generosity
Peeping 'round the door
To see what parcels are for free in curiosity
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
(Lewis Redner & Phillips Brooks)
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king
And peace to men on earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in
If you were born today
We'd kill ya by age eight
Never get the chance to say:
Joy to the world and
Peace on the earth
Forgive them for they know not what they do
Blessed are the meek and
Blessed are the humble
Blessed are the ninety and nine
Deny the flesh
Deny all that's evil
Tonight you'll deny me thrice
If you were born today
We'd kill ya by age eight
Never get the chance to say...
Ooooo...
Santa is coming tonight and I wanna car and I wanna life
and I wanna a first class trip to... Hawaii
I wanna lifetime supply of skittles and slurpies and escimo pies
I wanna dvd, a big screen tv
Just bring me things that I don't need
Cuz now it's Christmas
and I want everything
I just can't wait
Christmas, so don't stop spending
I wanna million gifts, that's right
Don't forget my Christmas list tonight
Cuz now it's Christmas
Somebody take me away
or gimme your time machine
to take me straight to midnight...I'll be all right
I wanna girl in my bed
who knows what to do
a Playstation 2
I wanna shopping spree in NewYork City
Just bring me things that I don't need
Cuz now it's Christmas
and I want everything
I just can't wait
Christmas, so don't stop spending
I wanna million gifts, that's right
Don't forget my Christmas list tonight
Cuz now it's Christmas
I wish I could take this day and make it last forever
and no matter what I get tonight... I want more
It's Christmas and I want everything
I just can't wait
It's Christmas and I want everything now
Christmas and I want everything
I just can't wait
Christmas, so don't stop spending
I wanna million gifts, that's right
and I can't wait till midnight
Don't forget my Christmas list tonight
(Can't wait for Christmas)
Cuz now it's Christmas
(Can't wait for Christmas)
Cuz now it's Christmas
(Can't wait for Christmas)
Cuz now it's Christmas

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night holy night
Son of God
Love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at thy birth
Jesus Lord at thy birth
Jesus Lord at thy birth
Jesus Lord at thy birth
Words by J. Popper Music by T. Anastasio and J. Popper Comes the time for Christmas
And I really have to ask
If this is feeling merry
How much longer must it last
I wish a one horse open sleigh
Would come carry me away
But I've been waiting here all day
And one just hasn't come my way
Now excuse me if I'm not being reverent
But I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Save me from my righteous doubt as I watch helpless
And everybody sings
If it's Chanukah or Kwanza
Solstice, harvest or December twenty-fifth
Peace on earth to everyone
And abundance to everyone you're with
Laha da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Laha da da da da
Laha da da da da
Comes the time for Christmas
And as you raise your Yuletide flask
There's like this feeling that you carry
As if from every Christmas past
It's as if each year it grows
It's like you feel it in your toes
And on and on your carol goes
Harvesting love among your woes
I want to buy into the benevolent
And I was hoping for a miracle to hold me, wash me
Make me know what it's about
As the longing in me makes me want to sing
Noel or Navidad
Season celebration or just the end of the year
Christmas can mean anything
And I mean to keep its hope forever near
Laha da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da
Laha da da da da
Laha da da da da
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
By loves own hand
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth
And good will to man
At twenty below the winter storm it billows
But the fire is so warm inside
And the children while nestled in their pillows
Dream of St. Nicholas's ride
And how the next day they'll get up and they will play
In the still falling Christmas snow
And together we'll celebrate forever
In defiance of the winds that blow
My god in heaven now I feel like I'm seven
And spirit calls to me as well
As if Christmas had made the winter warmer
Made a paradise from what was hell
As if a cold and frozen soul is warm to love
By loves own hand
So goes the prayer if for a day peace on earth
And good will to man...
I wish a one horse open sleigh would come carry me away
And I'll keep waiting through next May
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus just now
Just now come to Jesus
Come to Jesus just now
He will save you
He will save you
He will save you just now
Just now He will save you
He will save you just now
Only trust Him
Only trust Him
Only trust Him just now
Just now only trust Him
Only trust Him just now
He will cleanse you
He will cleanse you
He will cleanse you just now
Just now He will cleanse you
He will cleanse you just now
I'm not supposed to feel this way
We're closing in on Christmas day
When the world is upside down
We're gonna make it through
Somehow...
Don't you worry
We'll be fine
Snow will fall
And stars will shine
Even in the worst of times
It's Christmas
For the ones you leave behind
The colours of our country still
In mother's hands and father's will
Even when we're half awake
They cannot take our heroes away (away)
Don't you worry
We'll be fine
Snow will fall
And stars will shine
Even in the worst of times
It's Christmas
For the ones you leave behind
Behind, behind, behind
Oh, hey, hey-hey-hey
Don't you worry
We'll be fine
Snow will fall
And stars will shine
Even for the ordinary
Everybody needs to carry
Everybody, have a merry Christmas
From the ones you leave behind
Behind, behind
Merry Christmas
Christmas
A god is born and others die. What is
Has neither come nor gone, but error moves.
Today we have exchanged eternities
And what is past no novelty improves.
Blind knowledge is working at useless ground
And crazy faith is living the dream of its liturgy
A new god is a word - or the mere sound
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wand'ring
So fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
We are not daily beggers
That beg from door to door,
But we are neighbors' children
Whom you have seen before
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
Bring us out a table
And spread it with a cloth
Bring us out a cheese,
And of your Christmas loaf.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
God bless the master of this house,
And bless the mistress too
And all the little children
That round the table go.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
And God bless you, and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus
Wouldn't that be something to see?
I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus
Dodging the clouds, waving at crowds
I'd crack the whip and keep a watch for weather vanes
By checking evrry tag, I'd help him with the bag
Or maybe I could handle the reins
I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus
Wouldn't they be jealous of me?
You couldn't say I ran away because
After we roam, he'll drive me home
And when they see me Christmas morning
What'll they say with smile of delight
There goes the boy who rode with Santa Claus last night
I had sex on Chrismas
I had sex three times today
Three different women taught be how to be bored in their own separate, sweet, little ways
I feel like hell on Christmas
And I feel like hell today
I feel like Hell
When I wake-up, I can tell that I'm never gonna make you stay
Okay, here it goes
I didn't get no presents on Christmas
And I sure didn't get none today
Learned my lesson
Life is one long session of disappointment, heartache, pain
Disappointment
Heartache
Pain
They wished upon a star
Three wise men traveled far to see
A babe who was born to be King
The dream in heaven's dreams
That made the prophets' words complete
And the angels begin to sing
They looked to the sky
Followed the light
Love's greatest gift
Had come to us that night
Can you feel the spirit in the air
Giving hope to people everywhere
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
Hallelujahs echoing tonight
Now everything will be alright
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
I know we've seen some times
When joy has been so hard to find
And life seems to take more than faith
But we dreaming heaven's dream
And finding hope within our hearts
To believe that there's more than we see
We looked to the sky
Followed the light
Love's greatest gift
Has come again tonight
Can you feel the spirit in the air
Giving hope to people everywhere
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujahs echoing tonight (tonight)
Now everything will be alright (be alright)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
There's no greater gift
Than the life that you gave
All the hatred
Rearrange it
Spread all the love
Spread all the love (the love, the love, the love)
Can you feel the spirit in the air (in the air)
Giving hope to people everywhere
This is Christmas
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujahs echoing tonight (tonight)
Now everything will be alright (be alright)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas (Christmas)
Can you feel the spirit in the air
Giving hope to people everywhere (giving hope)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas (Christmas)
Hallelujahs echoing tonight (tonight)
Now everything will be alright (be alright)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
Can you feel
Can you feel the spirit in the air
Giving hope to people everywhere (everywhere)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
Hallelujahs echoing tonight (tonight)
Now everything will be alright (be alright)
Celebrate our Savior's here
This is Christmas
I want to leave
You will not miss me
I want to go
From here to something
Something else
Something better
Something I can call my own
Christmas time
The snow is white and so are you
Christmas time
You have a warmth inside you
Tell me if
Your saddest feeling
Is when you hear
That I'm here for you
You're something else
Something special
Something I call my own
'Cause it's the sweetest dream
It's my weakest thought
This is the brightest light
Christmas time
The snow is white and so are you
Christmas time
He braced the old ladder with all of His might
And shouted, dad have no fear
As I stretched high to store the stockings and trim
In the attic for another year
We were busily packing our Christmas away
While singing a carol we knew
When I heard my son in innocence inquire
Do we store away Jesus too
Chorus
All year long
We must worship day by day
All year long
Tis the season to obey
May the Christmas tree lights
And the sleigh rides at night
Remind us all to stay in God's presence
All year long
I smiled at my boy as again I explain
God's longing to reconcile
How He gave to the world the gift of new life
When His yearning became Mary's child
Though surrounded by all of man's goods we embrace
The hope of that Bethlehem night
We will never store this blessed gift away
With the tinsel and colored lights
Repeat Chorus
Sounds
The summer sun comes down
I can hardly see the window
From here now
Here and now
The snow
In waves you'll never know
Through this ever-changing midnight
Just let it go
Just let it go
Hey, on this sacred, sun-rinsed day
They'll sell our culture and
They'll sell the ways, the blaming
Standing still, we'll fall
Burn this sadness from my soul, babe
I guess that's all
Fear and the sky begins to clear
Through this ever-changing midnight
Christmas cheer
Words are falling form your lips like Christmas to my hips
So dangerous the strangest feeling of being
I want willow trees and melodies and flowers counting hours
Till he's breathing leaving the rest behind
'Cause I? m full of love
Like the waves washes sands clean
And the sun sparkles meadows green
I want kisses and dresses
A late night message that cradles, halos me to sleep
'Cause I? m full of love
Yeah I? m full of, of the above
Like a mother leaves her cubs astray
And a teacher leaves at the end of each day, I? ll stay
So cover me but lover be patient
Love's ancient but not for me
'Cause I? m full of love
Yeah I? m full of, of the above
Like Christmas stays with you
Walk through darkened streets as we lay true
[MRS. WALKER]
Did you ever see the faces
Of the children, they get so excited.
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited.
They believe in dreams and all they mean,
Including Heaven's generosity.
Peeping 'round the door to see what
Parcels are for free in curiosity.
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
He doesn't know who Jesus was,
Or what praying is.
[CHORUS]
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?
[FRANK]
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
[MRS. WALKER]
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Can you?
[FRANK]
Tommy, can you hear me?
[MRS. WALKER]
Can you hear me?
[CHORUS]
How can he be saved?
[TOMMY]
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
[BOTH]
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
[CHORUS]
How can he be saved?
[FRANK]
Surrounded by his friends,
He sits so silently and
Unaware of anything.
Playing poxy pinball, picks his nose,
He smiles, he cries,
He pokes his tongue at everything.
[MRS. WALKER]
I believe in love,
But how can men who've never seen light
Be enlightened?
Only if he's cured
Will his spirit's future level
Ever heighten.
[FRANK]
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
[MRS. WALKER]
He doesn't know who Jesus was,
Or what praying is.
[CHORUS]
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?
We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I´m holding very tight
I’m riding in the midnight blue
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We’re surfing in the air
We’re swimming in the frozen sky
We’re drifting over icy mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep
We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
I´m holding very tight
I’m riding in the midnight blue
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you
We’re walking in the air
We’re walking in the air
Did you ever see the faces of the children
They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited
They believe in dreams and all they mean
Including heavens generosity
Peeping 'round the door
To see what parcels are for free in curiosity
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved from the eternal grave?
Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently
And unaware of everything
Playing poxy pinball
Picks his nose and smiles and pokes his tongue at everything
I believe in love but how can men
Who've never seen light be enlightened?
Only if he's cured
Will his spirits future level ever heighten
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is
How can he be saved from the eternal grave?
Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you hear me?
Can you, can you, can you hear me?
How can he be saved?
Did you ever see the faces of the children
They get so excited
Waking up on Christmas morning
Hours before the winter sun's ignited

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel,
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
"Fear not then," said the Angel,
"Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind:
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The Son of God to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His Mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Oh oh yeah yeah
Christmas is coming that time is here
Have you mailed out your Christmas letter
Whatever you’re wishing for whatever you need
I've got something here to make it better
I've got two strong arms to hold you tight
Lips to warm your cold cold night
Rockin’ you around to the morning light with a heart
full of Christmas cheer
And I’ll be your jingle baby
Baby if you’ll be my jingle boy
Look for me underneath your tree and I’ll be your
favorite toy
Don’t need to wind me up or shake me got no batteries
up my sleeve
One sweet kiss and I’ll go like this right on to New
Year’s Eve
Turn up the music come and sit by the fire
We can make this moment last forever
Yeah
Don’t need no instruction book to tell us what to do
We know how to put this love together
(Chorus)
And I’ll be your jingle baby
Baby if you’ll be my jingle boy
Look for me underneath your tree and I’ll be your
favorite toy
Don’t need to wind me up or shake me got no batteries
up my sleeve
One sweet kiss and I’ll go like this right on to New
Year’s Eve
(Instrumental)
(Repeat Chorus twice and fade)
"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King... Oh when we come"
It's Christmas again. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same
And as the snow is falling from the sky
All I wanna do is cry
I got to get away from here
I gotta get away...
By tomorrow, I will be gone
By tomorrow, I'll see the sun again
But tonight... I am... The Little Drummer boy
Tonight... I am... the one who will destroy
The secrets never told before
Of those who lost their souls
There are sad things in the Darkness
There are sad things all around us
It's Christmas again. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same
"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King..."
Now here I go
I'm falling on my face, drum breaking on the stage
Oh My God it's such a big disgrace
It's Christmas again. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
Sometimes Christmas isn't like TV
Some kids got no presents under their tree
Their plates are empty, there's nothing to eat
The holidays just remind them of what they haven't got
Days are shorter I am dreaming cold
I am on tour on another lonely town
I am alright my heart goes slow
Come to you my love runs fast
I am alright away I have too many obligation
What more can I say I am alright
Sometimes it should be more
I make a call for a... to go home
And pack my bags coming her... I am all the way back door
Come in her come in love
I am gonna run to you
There is someone somewhere after dark
To run away back home
Coming home for Christmas coming home
Parents and children on the street remind me of my childhood
I am alright I ask myself is it worthy to make my way...
Make a call buy a ticket to come home
Pack my bags again
I am coming home
I am on my way to you
There is someone somewhere after dark
To run away back home
Coming home for Christmas coming home
Out of the airport take a taxi for the ride
I wanna be back home tonight
I am coming home
I am on my way back home
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am on my way to you
There is someone somewhere after dark
To run away back home
Coming home for Christmas coming home
Coming home for Christmas coming home
"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King... Oh when we come"
It's Christmas again. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same
And as the snow is falling from the sky
All I wanna do is cry
I got to get away from here
I gotta get away...
By tomorrow, I will be gone
By tomorrow, I'll see the sun again
But tonight... I am... The Little Drummer boy
Tonight... I am... the one who will destroy
The secrets never told before
Of those who lost their souls
There are sad things in the Darkness
There are sad things all around us
It's Christmas again. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same
"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King..."
Now here I go
I'm falling on my face, drum breaking on the stage
Oh My God it's such a big disgrace
It's Christmas again. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
I crunch across the street
To that Maine man
Who sells us our tree every year
He asks how we’ve been
I just smile
And say “bag up that five-foot blue
Spruce, please…
Nice trees.”
The taxi ride home
I’m just fine
It’s just me and that tree and Abdul
He shows me the lights
Red or green doesn’t matter
Pedestrians scatter ‘neath
A snowflake of light suspended
High above Fifty-Seventh
We slide to my stoop, I track in
Put up that spruce, step back and see
How it’s gonna be
Christmas without you
It’s hitting home, I’m all alone
Christmas without you
So unfamiliar
Christmas without the love we shared
A little much to bear
This Christmas…
At least you left the lights
Okay, half
Probably the ones that blink
Where are you tonight?
Every day I’m a mess
Even Rudolph’s depressing
I hop on a train to Macy’s
Thinking I’ll just replace these
Memories we made together
But all the memory shelves are bare
Christmas without you
It’s hitting home, I’m all alone
Christmas without you
So unfamiliar
Christmas without the love we shared
It’s far too much to bear
Don’t think I’ll ever be the same
This Christmas without you
Lonely are the days…
Lonely are the nights without you...
Last week's
Communsurate heartaches
Had me blushed and pale
What I heard
What I understood
It was no joke
My aim is fantastic
Bring back the guns
It's too much for the young
And so the old throw it out
Putting blame back
Where blame can settle down
My name is elastic
[Intro]

our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,

Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years

If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

The snow's coming down
Christmas
I'm watching it fall
Christmas
Lots of people around
Christmas
Baby, please come home
Christmas
The church bells in town
Christmas
All ringing in song
Christmas
Full of happy sounds
Christmas
Oh, baby, please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
Christmas
Pretty lights on the tree
Christmas
I'm watching them shine
Christmas
You should be here with me
Christmas
Oh, baby, please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here

Didn't it rain children, talk about rain oh my Lord
Didn't it, Didn't, Didn't, oh my Lord Didn't it rain
Didn't it rain children, talk about rain oh my Lord
Didn't it, Didn't it, Didn't it, oh my Lord Didn't it
rain
Rain, rain, oh my Lord
Didn't it, Didn't it, Didn't it, oh my Lord Didn't it
rain
When you read in the Good Book you'll understand
Why Noah lived as a righteous man
The Lord called Noah and gave him a plan
Said: "Build me an ark at my command"
Just listen how it's raining, all day, all night
Water rising in the east, water rising in the west
Men groaning in the north, some moaning in the south
All day, all night oh oh oh oooo
Just listen how it's raining all day all night
Didn't it rain, talk about rain oh my Lord
Didn't it, Didn't it, Didn't it, oh my Lord Didn't it
rain
Rain, rain oh my Lord
Didn't it, Didn't it, Didn't it, oh my Lord Didn't it
rain
Then the Lord told Noah take 'em two by two
The ox and the fox an the kangaroo
The wicked man if he don't repent
Leave 'em there until my judgment
Just listen how it's raining all day all night
Water rising in the east, water rising in the west
Men groaning in the north, men moaning in the south
All day all night, well well well well well well well
well
Let me hear you groan some tune
Let me hear you moan some children
All day, all night,
Water rising in the east, water rising in the west
Men groaning in the north, some moaning in the south
All day, all night
Didn't it rain, talk about rain oh my Lord
Didn't it, Didn't it, Didn't it, oh my Lord Didn't it
rain
Rain, rain oh my Lord
Didn't it, Didn't it, Didn't it, oh my Lord Didn't it
rain.
Isn't it ironic
That we fight for peace
Tell me its iconic
We are repeating history
Should we be afraid
Or should we sit back on our sofas
And listen to every word they say
You wont wait too long baby dolls
You’ll get the call when everyone is crying
This shit is so bad but at least we’re all still alive
Oh we’re all still alive
We are all alive
Hooray hooray it's Christmas day
Home for the holidays its all okay
But your values are all trash
So smash your TVs with an axe
Or should you be afraid
Of watching yourself watching it day after day after day
Hooray! Christmas day!
My values were all trash
So I smashed my TV with an axe
Because I was afraid
Of watching myself watching it day after day after day
