My Wish

Deck the halls with shopping malls
And jingle bells with clearance sales
It’s Christmas Time
But something isn’t right
Sleigh bells ring and I’m sinking
Into my head and I pretend
That you were here
To unwrap this year
It’s you, only you
You’re the only present that I want
So make me yours because
It’s you, only you
And I’ll only make one wish this year
If it will bring you here
Christmas couldn’t get here faster!
You’re on my list for ever after
Please tell me I’m your wish, too
‘Cause Christmas just ain’t Christmas without you
Joy to the world, and what has come
But sleepless nights just waiting
For you to appear
Just once more this year
These silent nights ain’t holy
Rather they’re cold and they’re lonely
But one thing is all need
Right under my Christmas Tree
It’s you, only you
You’re the only present that I want
So make me yours because
I’ll only make one wish this year
If it will bring you here
Just tell me baby
What do ya like?
I’m no Santa, but the man under your tree tonight
Why not come over and take me
Before I go crazy
Won’t you say you wan’t you want me, too

The List (Remastered)
04:40
|

Snow on the hills
Hope in the air
Yes the Season’s back around
Goodwill to all
Joy to world
Joy to everyone but me
Because they nailed up that list again
To set the Nice from the Bad
And while it’s nice to be Nice again
My ink stands alone without your name
Word in the town
Says that the Nice
Don’t belong with the Bad
So I gaze through glass
Across this blizzardHoping that you’re still there
And well, who came up with that list, anyway,
To set the ice right between us?
What’s the point of this four-letter word
To stand alone, without you?
If this is what it is like to be on
the Nice List,
What is it worth if you’re not
here with me?
Keep the gifts! Burn the list!
I won’t miss anything like I’ll miss you
Call me Bad, I’d rather have you!
I’ll change my name, denounce my title
To get me back to you
And now they’ll see, why I am green
When they take my love from me
Yeah I’ll give them a silent night
And pack my bags right out of here.
What’s the point of this four-letter word
To stand alone, without your embrace?
Without your embrace?
I hear on the wind, carolers singing
Their echoes far behind
This wilderness is all ours
And the town we’re from, no more
I saw their new List.
They made their changes.
I’ve made some changes, too.
‘Cause if that’s Nice, without you here
How much worse could being Bad be?
Well, call me Bad!
If that’s what it was like to be on
the Nice List
I’m better off being Bad here with you
Keep the gifts! Burn the list!
Only one list I’m on, and that’s with you.
Call me Bad, I’d rather have you!

Santa didn’t bring me
what I wanted last year
Santa didn’t bring me
what I wanted the year before
Wishing got me nowhere,
now I’m getting what I want.
It’s time for me to take that toy.
All I want for christmas is a boy.
I remember last year:
Lights up, stockings hung
Christmas tree has got its bling
Mistletoe’s above the door but
What the hell is that green good for
Silent nights, cancelled flights
Lonely, not a soul in sight
Even the Big Y ran out of beer
Saint Nick, let’s make one thing clear
Santa, you really let down last year
Santa,you thought that
you could pull one over
Santa, you said you’d grant
my wish last time
And I believed it. Ever word you said
Maybe you thought I hadn’t meant it
When I want something I’ll get it
I’m the puppy who wants a boy
And not gonna stop till I get my toy
I’ll tell you what’s happening this year:
Lights up on the town
No more notes to Santa now
Hit the clubs and down every shot
Forget the nice and take home who’s not.
Treble, bass, superstars
Getting rowdy, playing hard
The name’s NIIC,
but tonight that’s not true
Throw me out, but I’ll take him home too
Santa, I think it’s best we parted ways
Santa, from here,
I think I’ll take things over
Santa, I don’t know
who put you in charge but
I’mma run this now,
NIIC is coming to town!
What can I bring you for
Christmas this year?
Sleigh bells ring, deck the halls
I don’t need no Santa Claus
Silver bells, silent nights
Boy you’re all I need tonight

Once Upon a Holiday

Once upon a holiday
I had taken more from you
than I could give
You were kind but blind
to the Scrooge in me
Or could it be
You believed in me
Once upon a holiday
You gave me warmth,
you gave me your heart
And I was grateful, but hateful
of all I couldn’t do for you
What could I return
How could I return
But what’s passed is past
I suppose nothing’s to last
But if clocks they all could unwind
I’d pull back them all and
find the time to find you
If it’s alright by you
I’d like to hold you
Like it’s the last part before we part ways
And show you the things I never could say
Once upon a holiday
Once upon a holiday
I had left you all alone
You barred the doors, closed the blinds, till the holidays subside
How could it be true
What have I done to you
Once upon a holiday I came to stay
You took my breath away
You filled a cup that never could be full
I hated me for letting down my walls
And so your fences too
I couldn’t let your love undo
The loneliness I deserved
Oh what did I break your heart for?
But what’s passed is past
And love was just in our grasp
But if clocks they could all unwind
I’d pull back them all and find the time
To find you
Now it’s once upon another holiday
Again I visit your iron bars
There’s no way today
you’d let me come inside to say
How I was wrong
Oh god how I was I wrong
Has the past really passed
I love you more than lifetimes can last
Please forgive me, let these clocks unwind
And I’ll let love back inside me

Brand New Year

Come one, come one all
I’m the magician with an empty jar
I want your regrets, your lost amends
C’mon raise your cups,
now let’s fill them up
The year is done, the war is won
Give up the tears, our time has come!
Tear down those loss soaked calendars
And march with me to a brand new song!
Do you feel the winds they’re changing?
Shout it with me:
IT’S TIME FOR A BRAND NEW YEAR!
Soon things will come around
So put the past twelve months
high up on that shelf
It’s over! We all made it out
Things are gonna be looking up
So c’mon let’s live it up!
A new page, a new start is here
It’s time for a brand new year!
Beat the drum, believe me
The clock’s reset, and now we’re free
A new page, a brand new start
So let’s ditch the fear, it’s a brand new year
New legends we set out and write
New heights we reach up and climb
There’s no holding back this year
C’mon march with me
to a brand new song!
Do you feel our hearts they’re racing?
Shout it to the world:
IT’S TIME FOR A BRAND NEW YEAR!

A Musical Tail: One Weekend
by Fox Amoore
supported by 7 fans who also own “Deck The Dogs [ALBUM]”
Very cute, and very true-to-life! The arrangement is extremely well-done on every track, it is hard to believe that this did not come from some large production company. I bought the LP, and I must admit that I am slightly disappointed with the sound quality. It was clearly cut from a compressed digital source. There are some artifacts present at softer passages that should otherwise be bone-jarringly smooth on high-fidelity LPs.

This whole album is amazing and It's very hard for me to pick a favourite because it keeps changing but every song on this album absolutely go's off. All of Pepper Coyote's (Including his early work in Look Left) and Fox Amoore's songs are definitely worth listening to.

Hashtag
by Fox Amoore and Pepper Coyote
supported by 6 fans who also own “Deck The Dogs [ALBUM]”
I'd listened to this album years before attending my first furcon and I feel that the mood it sets is the closest thing to actually being there. It beautifully captures the soul of the furry fandom.
