The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home
They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
All the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like christmas at all
I remember when you were here
All the fun we had last year
If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

"Station Talkin"
Intro
Verse 1-A
I saw my man in days of awe,
There was no rhyme or reason to his cause
Verse 1-B
There's none of this comfort, that you seek through death,
I will lay you down, and bear witness: yer last breath
But the sound and the fury kept the strength in...
his bones, his bones, his bones, his boooones
~~~~~
Verse 2
You are an enemy of this earth
And I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you to ready for blood
Still the sound of my fury puts the rattle in
your bones, your bones, your bones, your boooones
~~~~~~
Verse 3
I talk to the station and what do I hear,
It says yonder stands the sinner, in this life no winners, but his end is drawing near--
~~~~~
Outro
But the sound of the fury, Oooooh
Yes, the sound of my fury, Woo Hooo
The sound and the fury- ......Puts a rattle to
MY BONES, MY BMONES, MY BONES, MY BOOOONES (etc.),p,

VERSE
There is no way,
for me to say just how I feel
And how can i flee,
when all i see is you and me
CHORUS
But if, you're going down
You're join bleed
Find somebody else
That can see you for yer insides, that's no lie
And so the girl with spotted eyes
Just had to say goodbye
There's too much sorrow
In thinking what we coulda done
Further forlorn'ed
By all your songs, I've left unsung
But if, you're going down
You're join bleed
Find somebody else
That can see you for yer insides, that's no lie
And so the girl with spotted eyes
Just might say, please say, there can be a surprise

Well I can tell by the way you look that you're not really used to being a stranger
And when I recall our curious union, it seems much more like joyful terror (upon which we were entering)
But the perfect woman tears you to pieces if she says the words "I love you" (Oh, and that's a compliment)
So I see you kinda threw me away like a pet that outlived his master's affection
The true man wants two things: danger and diversion. So he seeks the daughter of Eve-and she's the most dangerous plaything.
But let it be known: in revenge and love, the maiden is more vicious than the man
Well I can see by the way you look
Hear bout how you partook
That you're not used to being a stranger
Taste of fake on your lips
The feel that you're soul was stripped
Oooh I can really see you going nowhere (we never really had a chance)
I long for a memory beyond consolation- a memory of shadows and stone.
And she just keeps blowing out soap bubbles- big & large, knowing they will burst
I've heard it said that women love men even for their vices,, "but you hated me for my virtues. (Oh and that's NOT a compliment)
But I'm afraid I've carried this cup of wrath to the brim and I just might spill it
Oooh I bore my cross for you and you scorned me- side note for the record of public knowledge, why did you have to sleep with him?
But let it be known: in revenge and love, the maiden is more vicious than the man
Well I can see by the way you look
Hear bout how you partook
That you're not used to being a stranger
Taste of fake on your lips
The feel that you're soul was stripped
Oooh I can see we never really had a chance

Growwler recommends:
Rockist neo-traditionalism at its finest. With 3 primo vocalists and solid songwriters, you're never allowed a dull or predictable moment with these doods. Enjoy solid songcraft? Listen to Mahgeetah!

Best band of 2013 with a power pop album of hazy/psych proportions with memorable hooks and choruses to boot. Not often you get a band you can remember the morn after- these guys are them.
