I survived the last one.
You could never say what Christmas met to me
Cause your pleasure dome went out of travesty
And the home you made lost it s hospitality
And them glorious words of yours turn out to be just what they’ll beYou’re cold and twisted like the moon
Let me tell you I’ve been searchin’ for so long
And your shining face was smiling oh so wrong
And the home you made lost it’s hospitality
And them glorious words of yours turned out to be just what they’ll beYou’re cold and twisted like the moon

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea
My voice, a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love
They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I have been told
They say we’re buried far
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love
This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
Because you’re not where you belong
Inside my arms
I still believe in summer days
The seasons always change
And life will find a way
I’ll be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love
This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
Because you’re not where you belong
Inside my arms
This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea
My love; a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?Writer(s): Ingrid Michaelson / Sara Bareilles

Tell me where we go now
Hope is better than wondering in our heads
We tried everything to save our love
The best was always waiting to comeFor 51 reasons not to lose our sleep
And it’s not that you’re not the one
And it’s not that you’re not the one
We all need a little peaceDo you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?Tell me why we’re going so fast
Never used to run when we were young
And I’m running out of words
Just to love you like the very first timePack your bags with all the lives you’ve been before
And leave behind what you don’t want no more
Sometimes, sometimes you wanna, wanna go back
But it don’t work like thatDo you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?Memories come, let me go
You just learn to fake it
Sometimes, sometimes you wanna, wanna go back
But it don’t work like thatDo you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?
Do you feel a little broken?Writer(s): Patrick Watson

Hey Charley I’m pregnant
Living on 9th Street
Right above a dirty bookstore
Off Euclid Avenue
I stopped taking dope
And I quit drinking whiskey
And my old man plays the trombone
And works out at the trackHe says that he loves me
Even though its not his baby
He says that he’ll raise him up
Like he would his own son
He gave me a ring
That was worn by his mother
And he takes me out dancin’
Every Saturday nightHey Charley I think about you
Every time I pass a fillin’ station
On account of all the grease
You used to wear in your hair
I still have that record
Of Little Anthony and The Imperials
But someone stole my record player
How do ya like that?Hey Charley I almost went crazy
After Mario got busted
I went back to Omaha
To live with my folks
Everyone I used to know
Was either dead or in prison
So I came back to Minneapolis
This time I think I’m gonna stayHey Charley I think I’m happy
For the first time since my accident
I wish I had all the money
That we used to spend on dope
I’d buy me a used car lot
And I wouldn’t sell any of ’em
I’d just drive a different car every day
Dependin’ on how I feelHey Charley, for chrissakes
Do you want to know the truth of it?
I don’t have a husband
He don’t play the trombone
I need to borrow money
To pay this lawyer
And Charley, hey
I’ll be eligible for parole

Do you remember the 25th night of December?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds awayOur hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night awayBa de ya – say do you remember
Ba de ya – dancing in December
Ba de ya – never was a cloudy dayBa duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba dudaMy thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stayNow December found the love we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share todayBa de ya – say do you remember
Ba de ya – dancing in December
Ba de ya – never was a cloudy dayThere was a

With scarves of red tied ’round their throats

Dreamed I was an Eskimo
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frozen wind began to blow
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Under my boots ‘n around my toe
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Frost had bit the ground below
(Boop-boop aiee-ay-ah!)
Was a hundred degrees below zero
(Booh!)
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
And my momma cried:
Boo-a-hoo hoo-ooo
And my momma cried:
Nanook-a, no no (no no…)
Nanook-a, no no (no no…)
Don’t be a naughty Eskimo-wo-oh
(Bop-bop ta-da-da bop-bop Ta-da-da)
Save your money: don’t go to the show
Well I turned around an’ I said:
HO HO
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an’ I said:
HO HO
(Booh!)
Well I turned around an’ I said:
HO HO
An’ the Northern Lites commenced t’ glow
An’ she said

In the world that you would make up
With unicorns and buffalo packs
I know that you would wake up
With the sunny side touching your back
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
Coming up with theories on him
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
He’s riding in the devil’s abyss
Oh, I would rate the future
If I could put a finger on it
But I have no idea
If what I want is better than this
Is it the lonely man of winter?
I could put my finger on that
Is it the lonely drive to Denver?
The loneliness of Hoppington’s hat
Is it the time we spent in silence?
The silence of a winter he had
Is it the lonely man of winter?
I could put my finger on that
And even if it’s Christmas
Could we just pretend for a bit
That everything we went through
Was someone else’s carpenter kissWriter(s): Sufjan Stevens

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 ISometimes 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 ISeems 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 eighty-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
