lyrics

Christmas Time

When I was little bit shorter maybe ‘bout nine years old
turn a half into a quarter never did what Id been told
allergic to regulation, preferred my own secret laws
didn't get much information, never gave out very much more

oh oh oh I know what I know
oh oh oh I’ll go where I go

Tympani of teenage tantrums, hiding out home alone
listening to the greatest anthems, occupation getting stoned
protected by the grace of crazy
rejected by the world of words
indecisive the god of maybe
taught me all I ain’t learned, but

oh oh oh I know what I know

Cos work ain’t a good reason
to get yourself hurt, just trying to toe the line
oh why, why hide your lights until Christmas time

Addicted to conversation, no space between the lines
need a little more contemplation, need a little less pantomime
don’t believe in anything certain, cant be sure of the human mind
always another update version, ( still/all) waiting for the install time

but oh oh oh I know what I know

Cos work ain’t a good reason
to get yourself hurt, just trying to toe the line
oh why, why hide your lights until Christmas time

Cos work ain’t a good reason
to get yourself hurt, just trying to pay the price
oh why, why hide your lights until Christmas time

All is quite, all is calm, all is right now

Loco Ironico image

Loco Ironico London, UK

Loco Ironico is The brainchild of British singer-songwriter Joe Cang and Italian musician and composer Matteo Saggese
Songs of GMO crops, shipwreck and elusive future physical fitness that draw on New Orleans jazz, Cuban tango and calypso.
Think Randy Newman and Buena Vista.
As Joe says : ‘This is music for those with a taste for the ironic and laconic and for those who prefer whisky to tonic” ... more
