I See Things Differently

______________________________________________
As long as I can hear a song
There can be no wrong
And you can pray for peace on earth
I reckon things will never change
There'll always be someone to blame
And you can try to change the world
I don't need your greeting card
I don't need to be your superstar
I'll accept you as you are
But don't come down on me
I see things differently
Yes, I have point of view
Just not like you
But that doesn't mean we can't be one
I reckon things will never change
They'll always be the same
Please don't make me change the world
Please put down your political gun
Turn off that stupid computer, let's go have some fun
Say, tell me that you know
That I'll never let you go
I wish you merry Christmas anyway
Say, say you'll never leave
I promise I believe
I wish you merry Christmas, whatever that means

______________________________________________
Block out the sun because I don't want you
I'm gonna paint it black and then give back to you
I'm going down
And I wanna get fucked up at xmas time
Wanna get fucked up at xmas time
Go mute the bells because I don't want you
Pack up your hate I'm going to post it back to you
I'm going down
And I wanna get fucked up at xmas time
I wanna get fucked up at xmas time
and I'm going down

We don't have to get up early to go to the airport
We don't need to take a boat, train or drive
And Just because we're staying home
Doesn't mean we're all alone
We can say
Merry Xmas Around The World
Let us take you around the world
Merry Xmas Around The World
We don't need any cash to show we care
And it can still mean a lot even though we're not there
And just because we're not around
Doesn't mean you can't hear the sound
The sound of
Merry Xmas Around The World
C'mon baby won't you shake and twirl
Merry Xmas Around The World
And just because we're not around
Doesn't mean you can't feel the love
When we say
Merry Xmas Around The World

Baby we're not neurotic cos' that's something else
We passed that miles ago in the wrong direction
I'm going to take you to a dark place
Then we're going to turn the light on and party party
We're going to have, a psychotic summer
Just you and me on a hypnotic bummer
And we'll go on killing spree of kindness
A fun filled nightmare in the sun
Let's go cut some flowers we'll really cut 'em down
We'll get our fill of emptiness, while we're upside down
We're going to have, a psychotic summer
Just you and me, a psychotic summer
And we'll go on killing spree of kindness
A fun filled nightmare in the sun
Oh my God, we forgot about Christmas...

I don't want, I don't want
Cold turkey for Christmas
I'm just so spent
I don't know what to do
You came and you went
And left me lying orange, black, purple and blue
Nobody's singing carols tonight
It's still too bright when I turn off the light
Nobody's there when I pick up the phone
You left me at the table all alone
Till the very next day
I don't want, I don't want
Cold turkey for Christmas
There's no new part
There's no clever bend
You came and you went
And left me stranded, beginning, middle and end
Nobody's singing carols tonight
It's still too bright when I turn off the light
Nobody's there when I pick up the phone
You left me at the table all alone
Till the very next day
I don't want, I don't want
Cold turkey for Christmas

______________________________________________
Good-bye the best summer of my life
We were meant to be, by accident or design
The trip hope almost took a week
I still can't find my sleep please write to me real soon
1965 is gonna be a great year
I'm saving all my Crowns
To make it for a Stockholm Christmas
I'll coming back faster than the Bluebird
Yes all my friends have heard
That I'll be gone for Stockholm Christmas
Yes you and Scandinavia is the plan
It's better than Vietnam I won't even miss my Holden
I'm gonna give your Hepstars record back
Cos' I've worn out the tracks that remind me of you
1965 is gonna be a great year
I'm saving all my Crowns
To make it for a Stockholm Christmas
I'll be coming back faster than the Bluebird
Yes all my friends have heard
That I'll be gone for Stockholm Christmas
So I've missed the Beatles while I was away
But they'll be here to stay
I'd rather be with you
I'll promise I'll be back

______________________________________________
It's the most beautiful night
I'm trying to find my way in the dark
This distance between us seems to grow every year
I'm looking for your star
I'm looking for your star
I don't need your gold
Frankincense & myrrh
I just need to see you
I just want to be with you
This Christmas time
It's the most beautiful night
In a land far, far away
Let us give thanks to God
A beautiful child is born today
I'm looking for your star
I'm looking for your star
I don't need your gold
Frankincense & myrrh
I just need to see you
I just want to be with you
This Xmas time
No mistletoe, holly or fir
I just need to see you
I just want to be with you
This Christmas time
Sleep, sleep baby, sleep
Sleep my sweet Jesus

I'd come running home from school just for you
In my mind we would play in my room
Things you do when you're 9
Santa all I Want is Cindy Brady
Re-runs have become DVDs
And I see things differently
There's new games to play in my room
Santa all I want is Cindy Brady
What were doing with Bobby in Tiger's House
Was the kiss in the script
In eposide 45 of season 2
Hmm, you must be older now
Santa something's wrong I'm losing my mind
The voices in my head want Cindy Brady
It's strange now I'm 32
I'm thinking that Ginger's too old now
Man I could have done her so bad
Santa help me find Cindy Brady
Hmm, you must be older now
Santa something's wrong I'm losing my mind
The voices in my head want Cindy Brady
You can play the bass in my band
If you let me be your leading man
Merry Xmas Sherwood Schwartz

Yuletide Heroine Blues

______________________________________________
I’ve been awake for 3 days
Yes I’m back to my old ways
I can’t help myself when you’re not around
I am criminal
And you’re a solider
Are we staring at the same stars tonight
You have no fear
I'm the Lion Man
Far too numb to kill the light
Are we staring at the same stars tonight
Are you dreaming to be clean
Do feel the same for me
In a land so far away
Will you have to kill a soul today
Do you have the will on Christmas day
You’ve got a war on the ground
There’s a war in my head
It’s Xmas time and we both could be dead.
Will you return
And will I survive
Will all the stars just fall from the sky
You have no fear
I’m the lion man
Far too numb to kill the light
Are we staring at the same stars tonight
You’ve got a war on the ground
There’s a war in my head
It’s Xmas time and we both could be dead.
Will you return
And will I survive
Will all the stars just fall from the sky
I’ve been awake for 3 days
In a dream I would say
You’re my hero baby – Merry Christmas
Are we staring at the same stars tonight

Surfin' Santa
03:13
|

______________________________________________
Mr Bell has a long white beard
It's been growing for 33 years
Since the day that he arrived
At Yallingup with Bonza Bob
He got a job milking cows
He found his love on the swell
Then he said I ain't ever moving on
Mrs Gray was the teacher's name
She called him up one December day
Mr Bell can you bring your boots
At 3pm for the end of school
The children noticed right away
Some had seen him down the bay
They knew he had a surfboard not a sleigh
There he goes, here comes surfin' santa
Everybody knows, we call him surfin' santa
And now the children want him every year
On boxing day they go watch him down the bay

If Santa Makes It Down
02:25
|

______________________________________________
I can’t believe we’re so far away
And it’s just me and you
It doesn’t feel quite like December
It’s all strange and new
And I wonder if Santa Makes It down
I can’t believe the autumn browns
In the heavy sun
Invites to barbecues
When the cricket’s down
And I wonder if Santa Makes It down
To Australia - isn’t it far way
To Australia - won’t he melt on the way
I can’t believe we’re down on the beach
Pouring on sunscreen
Making frosty out of the sand
I want to go home
And I wonder if Santa Makes It down
To Australia - isn’t it far way
To Australia

I Saw Santa With A Gun
03:26

______________________________________________
It was a long time ago
And it almost seems funny when I remember it now
But I was just a kid and that day killed Christmas for me
The day I saw Santa with a gun
Mummy I want a drink and some chocolate
Can we go into 711
I promise to be good for the rest of the day
Oh yippie I see Santa coming in
Oh mum can I go and talk to him
Santa starts to scream that he wants
Some cigarettes and all of the money
Then I see that Santa's got a gun
This is scaring me to death
Santa shouldn't be like that
I saw Santa wIth a gun
I'm never ask him for anything ever again
I saw Santa with a gun
I hope he never comes around to our house
T'was the night before Christmas
Now I'm scared again
Oh mummy can I sleep with you and dad
I don't want him to come again
I hope that Christmas never comes again
I saw Santa wIth a gun
I'm never ask him for anything ever again
I saw Santa with a gun
I never want to see him again

______________________________________________
It's Christmas time and I'm here all alone
With my computer and my Cool Edit Pro
I'm hope that Santa brings me a bass guitar
I hope that Santa makes me a star
Merry Christmas yeah yeah
Merry Christmas yeah yeah
How do we turn off the drum machine

I don't need to see your name in brighter lights
I just wanna hear your songs in people's hearts
I'd rather listen to Jesus than to Wilco
I'd rather go back to Jail if I see the Eagles reform again
You could teach a cat or two about rock n' roll
You can smoke the bluegrass anytime
I wish I could see you this christmas
I'd love to spend some time with you and yours
Wishing you a very merry christmas
I hope the new year always brings to you your just rewards
The bass in my rig's in overdrive
I don't need those little pills to help me fly
You're the one that always guides me home
And if we ever get to meet I won't have a single question about Gram
I wish I could see you this christmas
I'd love to spend some time with you and yours
Are we thinking about the same question
Who are these city boys playing vegetarian country?

______________________________________________
I can feel it in the air the scent of December
And I'll be coming home keener than ever before
And nothing changes here and that's how I like it to be
Just to blow away the dust on teenage memories
Then I look across the road
To where your bedroom used to be
Are you also coming home
Coming home to me
Come on over we'll go down to the basement
And we'll play the same old records that we used to play
I still don't care if you have a boyfriend
And all those other things I still don't want to know
I see your bedroom light on
And I'm too scared to come on over
Then I see your shilohette and I don't know how to feel
Should I blow away the dust on teenage memories
Then I look across again
And see you walking over
Now I can't help smiling because
You're coming over to me
Come on down, you remember the basement
And we'll play the same old records that we used to play
I still don't care if you have a boyfriend
And all those other things I still don't want to know
