A Christmas Without Carol

TINY TIDE – A CHRISTMAS WITHOUT CAROL

I always had mixed feelings on Christmas songs.  I mean… Why such an effort to write stuff people will hear only 1/12 of his lifetime pretending being good? The answer is: Christmas songs are awesome! And they sound pure pop! Moreover is also true that capitalism is slowly extending Christmas to all the other months of the year and I know friends (and I’m not kiddin’!) with some Christmas Pop compilation always waiting in some place of their cars ready to show up out of the blue and play any time of the year. That’s why when I wrote my first Christmas song a couple of years ago I thought I would have never doubled that episode of my life… but not only it’s becoming an habit… this year you’ll find even THREE Tiny Christmas Songs!

The point was to try the Dickens way and deal with Past, Present and Future. So here you go… a special git for Christmast 2011! Artwork was made by the unbeatable Claire “Atta Girl” Goldthorp, who already worked on “Plato’s Summer Stars”. Ejoy

Vintage Angel (Song of Christmas Past)

Vintage Angel
Shining all the night
On a Painted sky
Over aluminium sights

I will linger (I really love your style)
As the day go by (so caring and polite)
always by your side (I need to feel your vibes)
’till the holy day will shine (amethyst heart on fire)

Silver Angel
you did catch me by surprise
Among the gifts
I hope to get
you have no price

Snow like feathers
On my Christmas card
felt as you came by
thisVictorian winter sight

Little helper (a stunning filigree)
celebrating light (is dressing christmast dreams)
always by your side (oh wonderful delight)
spreading hope with faith and  pride (and light this holy night)

Look at your old granny’s style
flattering cuts with a strap
the most expansive pendant
will never suit her neckline

Vintage Angels
you have caught me by surprise
Giving away
all that I’ve got
this Christmas night

Praising the lord
to have you back
this holy night

Christmas Lima Bean (Song of Alternative Christmas Present)

Just arrived, I spent a day through airlines and check-in
Can’t believe I made it and I landed safe and neat (Over here)
See the maid, she waves my name right by the limousine
Telling me we have to hurry she still have to clean
and cook

Christmas Lima Beans
Christmas Lima Beans
You’re the one I want
Live your life with me

Christmas Lima Beans
Christmas Lima Beans
Leave the winter out
Let your love come in

Christmas Lima Beans
Christmas Lima Beans

So your parents turned out not being such a mess
When your mother saw your kiss I thought she’d got me death
And despite the sulk and shouts your dad is not a Nazz
Do they know it’s dinner time bring

Christmas Beans

Your skin is butter-like
Your chestnut kisses drain my soul tonight
I’m soaked and simmering
As tender as your cook required to be
Salt, pepper and lime juice
Please add some spice but careful not to abuse

Christmas Beans

Noel On The Moon (Song of Christmas Future)

You made
me smile
With your dream
so out of sight
We should come home right on time
N.A.S.A. shoots
were rad

A live broadcast
will show our cards
The Earth
will shine

From our Noel on The Moon
Noel on The Moon

All your
nice songs
are filled
with notes
New Christmas Songs
Wise up space owls

I hate
to break
My Tex
as girl
But Kiev called
have to
land home

Our Holy hosts
from the west coast
will join our toast
it won’t take long
Will sing
along

On a Noel on The Moon

Bedtime creeps
moonbeams shine before we go to sleep
tonight
Santa Clause did catch me by surprise
it seemed
we would overcome our greatest fears

On a Noel on The Moon
