[verse 1] You are an Angel to me Sitting at the top of the tree Forget the lies we’ve been sold All that glitters is not gold [Chorus] You’re my number one for Christmas (number one) Top of the Santa list You're my number one for Christmas (number one) Top of the list [verse 2] Tumbled out of midnight mass Behind the faces of the past You held my hand on Snowman Hill And when we kissed, the time stood still [Chorus] You’re my number one for Christmas (number one) Top of the Santa list You're my number one for Christmas (number one) Top of the list [verse 3] Early nights are drawing near Getting dark at the end of the year Waking up to another dawn Then the lights, they all come on

[verse 1] It’s been a long hard day We’ve travelled such a long hard way And now we’re looking for a place to stay [verse 2] Should get someone to intervene It’ll take a miracle to find a bed Somewhere clean to lay your head [verse 3] Not really looking for Palm Springs I know someone who could pull some strings To swap this road for somewhere you could lay your load [verse 4] It’s been a long hard day We’ve travelled such a long hard way And now we’re looking for a place to stay [outro] It’s such a sin, it’s such a sin… There is no room at the inn There is no room, there is no room…

[verse 1] Sunflower in the snow You shouldn’t be here, don’t you know Like a fish that’s drowning in the water A lamb separated from his mother [verse 2] Sunflower in the cold You shouldn’t be here, you’re getting old I’m pulling on my Christmas jumper Been sitting here since the summer [Chorus] Sun in the snow (x4) [verse 3] Sunflower in the rain The sky is crying down the drain The whole wide world is getting warmer What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger [verse 4] Sunflower in the wind The storm it blows you, tall and thin Standing there, you’re battle hardened The last thing living in this garden [Chorus] Sun in the snow (x4) [verse 5] Sunflower in the dark Another day gone, but it’ll be back All through the night, the wind’s blowing ill Come dawn of day, you’re standing still [Velvets section] You should, turn and face to the Sun (x4) [verse 6] Sunflower back in the sun Another summer’s just begun There’s June, July, August and September Follow the sun and follow forever

[verse 1] Lovers come and lovers go, they kiss beneath the mistletoe At Christmas time, at Christmas time Ring the bells it’s Christmas Eve, what will you find beneath the tree At Christmas time, at Christmas time [Chorus] Get out his way, here comes the sleigh [verse 2] Santa comes but once a year I hear the sleigh he’s getting near At Christmas time, at Christmas time Straight to bed on Christmas eve, cause Santa’s here when you’re asleep At Christmas time, at Christmas time [Chorus] Get out his way, here comes the sleigh [verse 3] Home from midnight mass they go, they’ll drink some wine and pray for snow At Christmas time, at Christmas time Turn on the lights from years before, they bring the choirs to your door At Christmas time, at Christmas time [Chorus] Get out his way, here comes the sleigh

[verse 1] Lately, I’m becoming forgetful Of late, I still remember you The days go by so fast They’re always running from the past Always running from themselves [verse 2] Yesterday, I chanced across your picture The sepia has faded long ago Was never one for looking back I’ll keep those feelings in the dark I’ll keep those feelings all to myself [verse 3] Your letter, it called me to the east coast Your letter, said more than you meant to Never caught that flight to JFK And perhaps it turned out best that way Perhaps, I’ve said more than I had meant to [verse 4] The hours are counting down to midnight They’re counting on another steady year Spent the whole night in my favourite seat I’m like the city somewhere that never sleeps The city where you live, and you’re not here [verse 5] I haven’t seen you since the war was over Left a gap just like the Continental Shelf Plastic knives and plastic forks New Year or New York I’ll keep those feelings all to myself Plastic knives and plastic forks New Year or New York I’ll keep those feelings all to myself

Silent Night 03:20
[verse 1] 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 [x2] [verse 2] Silent night, holy night Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah Sleep in heavenly peace [x2] [verse 3] Silent night, holy night Son of god, love's pure light Radian beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Sleep in heavenly peace [x2] [verse 4] 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 [x2]

about

Scottish favorites Bubblegum Lemonade celebrate their tenth release in ten years with a brilliant six-track holiday EP entitled ‘Laz Christmas’.

Lead track ‘Number One for Christmas’ is a surefire Christmas earworm with a big pop chorus and plenty of sleigh bells. In an alternate universe it would be battling for number one on the pop charts, but in our world it’s a safe bet to kick off your holiday playlist.

‘No Room At The Inn’ is the story of a modern day Mary and Joseph that ends with a wonderful vocal / fuzz guitar climax, and ‘Sunflower In The Snow’ is a song about the recent spate of weird weather that blends Beach Boys effervescence with the darkness of the Velvet Underground.

‘At Christmas Time’ is guitars jangling and festive shambling for the Postcard Records crowd, while ‘New Year Or New York’ sets the tale of a war veteran thinking back about a lost opportunity to an elegantly presented keyboard motif.

The EP ends with an indiepop take on the traditional Christmas song ‘Silent Night’ with perfectly shimmering guitars, more sleigh bells, tambourine, and dulcet backing vocals by Sandra of Strawberry Whiplash.

Limited to 1000 copies in a festive eco-wallet, ‘Laz Christmas’ is a new holiday classic!
