I love the street lights, the decorations;
I love the thrills of the preparations.
I love buying gifts for the whole family.
I love the food: the chestnut-stuffed turkey.
I love the heartfelt carols in the snow.
I love the whistle from the chimney when the wind blows.
I love snowballs and I love to see presents galore under the glittering tree .
But Christmas won’t be christmas without the touch of yours.
That’s why every single morning I wait for the postman to show.
Will you send me an old fashioned Christmas card this year?
With its magical winter scenery. Santa’s flying reindeers. Garlands of holly.
Will you send me an old fashioned Christmas card this year?
I wanna feel the glossy paper, the silver spangles under my fingers.
I love watching movies & the TV specials.
Mum’s set the table with her finest dishes.
I wish every day could be just like this one; a get-together with daughters and sons.
I love the never-ending banquet.
She’s by the fire but grandma needs a blanket.
Another coupe of that tasteful champagne.
Daddy drinks too much, mummy complains.

Say No more

Shut the door, and now say no more.
The place is so quiet although daddy snores.
Say no more. Keep still say no more.
We’ll stay up all night. We’ll see him for sure.
Will we hear the chiming bells in spite of the storm?
Will he find his way to our remote little farm?
It seems like forever and my eyes'll be closed before the end of the night.

Gang Clouds Arras, France
If you were to take the roof of the tiny A-frame attic where Gang Clouds rehearses and fold it along its hinge, you'd get a giant dossier (leaking microphone stands and bleeding hearts) you could file away in a box labelled “indie-pop.” Preferably, though, you would leave the attic as it is, thank you. ... more
