LYRICS
When I was small, I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stockings at Christmas
Open my presents, and I'd be glad
But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor
They said
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want no jigsaw or Monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy
Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
Give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll take a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids on the street
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothing
While you're drinking down your wine
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas please hand it over we'll beat up don't make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
Beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

LYRICS
I remember that night
You fell asleep under the truck when it got late
In the morning When I pulled out to look for you thank God I rolled out straight
Nothing was ever too much
Doing flips off the roof
Its like you were cheating death left and right, but you still wanted proof
I was thinking about you just yesterday
How you were gonna stop by on your way
I had some things that I wanted to talk you about
I had some things that I wanted to say
But now I stand here in your flannel shirt
Your mom couldnt bear to give it to goodwill
Its not even cold out but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
Break our fall
Break our fall
Break our fall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
We laughed until we got drunk, we drank until we fight
Then wed laugh again over my fat lip, while you were icing your eye
But you got behind the needle, chasing the next high
And then you managed to escape it
You got that job and you married your wife
I was thinking about you just yesterday
How you were gonna stop by on your way
I had some things that I wanted to talk to you about
I had some things that I wanted to say
But now I stand here in your flannel shirt
Your mom couldnt bear to give it to goodwill
Its not even cold but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
Break our fall, break our fall
Break our fall
Now no ones gonna break our fall
Ill see you when I see you
Oh this may be
But I wont love you when I love you
No that will always stay the same
I wont feel you when I feel you
Cause I feel you every day
But Ill see you when I see you

LYRICS
Came for the fire
Left before it was done
Iâm yours till your heartâs desire
Till you tell yourself thereâs another one
I am frightened, you are silent
Youâre my religion, I was your science
Is this the war of our alliance, have I lost my part in your dream
And I am standing at attention
There is no science or religion
Your eyes in perfect cold defiance, and I have never seen that look before
You pour the water
I would haul the stones
All the iron and the mortar
And all the other dreams that we left alone
I am frightened, you are silent
Youâre my religion, I was your science
Is this the war of our alliance, have I lost my part in your dream
And I am standing at attention
There is no science or religion
Your eyes in perfect cold defiance, and I have never seen that look before")

LYRICS:
I walk down the road looking for my tribunal
Like tom and huck stumbling down the aisle of their own funeral
Please goddess of the road, get me on my way
You see my love just left me so Iâm on my own
And my heartâs banged up looking for a foster home
The highway moon is getting me dizzy
I see a mirage of medusa,
A top of an Appaloosa, what I wouldnât do to be with you and your caboosa
Whispering to Mr. beck now whoâs the real loser
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
Thereâs a lot of places I got to get to,
I know youâre out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then Iâll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playinâ and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride
A PYT ushers me back to the rear
I havenât been many places and i definitely havenât been here
To think i was just a lonely soul in the cold with my thumb out
Now Iâm rolling a smoke and being told to stick my tongue out
We bounced and blared and so did the Lorry
She teased my hair and held me close with a story
Of rag tag visions as the moonlight poured in
Second star to the right and straight on tilâ morning
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
Thereâs a lot of places I got to get to,
I know youâre out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then
Iâll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playinâ and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride
Looking at her face was like looking at the sun
She said you canât ask of everybody what you donât ask of one
Either way, we got today and thatâs all we may be allowed
I know that if we hold it together,
Thereâs real love we can bring about
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
Thereâs a lot of places I got to get to,
I know youâre out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then Iâll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride")
