Sweet silver angels over my tree Please come down flying low for me One time I trusted a stranger ‘Cause I heard his sweet song It was gently enticing me Tho there was something wrong and when I turned he was gone Blinding me, his song remains reminding me He's a bandit and a heart breaker Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flying low for me He wages war with the devil A pistol by his side Though he chases him out windows And won't give him a place to hide He keeps his door open wide Fighting him he lights a lamp inviting him He's a bandit and a heart breaker Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker Yea, Jesus was a cross maker Sweet silver angels over the sea Please come down flying low for me I hear the thunder come rumbling the light never looked so dim And the junction grows nearer and danger is in the wind And either road's looking grim Hiding me I flee, desire dividing me He's a bandit and a heart breaker Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker Jesus was a cross maker Jesus was a cross maker Sweet silver angels over my tree Please come down flying low for me

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Eighty-Five degrees, salt of the ocean in the air. It was a gorgeous morning in Little Haiti. Skating in the street and listening to The Casualties The spirit moved me. I was filled with festivity. As the park tree began to light, I had a thought so divine: 305 ‘til i die. We pushed around a while, sunlight burning our shoulders. All my Catholic friends had to go home early. Tonight we’d all be visited by Mr. World Wide. The spirit moved me and I was filled with festivity. I could see my neighbors lights. I had a thought so divine: 305 ‘til I die The spirit moved me. I was filled with festivity. The park tree began to light. I had a thought so divine: 305 ‘til I die

Winter is blue Living is gone Some are just sleeping In spring they'll go on Our love is dead Nothing but crying Love will not find even One more new morning Why must I stay here Rain comes I'm sitting here Watching love moving Away into yesterday Winter is blue Everything's leaving Fires are now burning And life has no reason I am alone Waiting for nothing If my heart freezes I won't feel the breaking Why must I stay here Rain comes I'm sitting here Watching love moving Away into yesterday

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas Father Christmas, give us your money. Don’t mess around with those silly toys. We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over. Give us the bread; 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 a jigsaw or Monopoly money. We only want the real McCoy. Father Christmas, give us your money. Don’t mess around with those silly toys. We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over. Give us the bread; don’t make us annoyed. Give all the toys to the little rich boys. Give my daddy a job ‘cause he needs one. He’s got lots of mouths to feed. If you’ve got one, I’ll have a machine gun, So I can scare all the kids on the street. \ Father Christmas, give us your money. Don’t mess around with those silly toys. We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over. Hand it over. Hand it over. Hand it over. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Remember the kids who’ve got nothing When you’re drinking down your wine.

Come on over, sit on my lap. I know you’ve been waiting in line for hours to see me. Come on, take a picture and smile. I know you will keep it up in your bedroom, honey child. Come on now, you don’t have to ask. You can have whatever you want in the whole wide world. Been a good girl all year. You can tell me anything you want, this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. I don’t have to be your daddy today. Would you let me be your daddy tomorrow? I don’t know if that was wrong to say, but I said it anyway and I don’t care who it hurts. Ooh, I really want it Ooh, can I have it? Ooh, I really want it. Ooh, can I have it? Ooh, I really want it Ooh, can I have it? Ooh, I really want it? Ooh, can I have it? Ooh, I really want it. Ooh, can i have it? Ooh, I really want it Ooh, can I have it? Things are really going my way. Everybody’s lining up and jumping at the chance to see me. Things are going better, I know. Things’ll end up better, I know Things are going better, I swear. Things’ll end up better, I know.

On our way from Stockholm It started to snow And you said it was like Christmas But you were wrong It wasn't like Christmas at all By the time we got to Oslo The snow was gone And we got lost The beds were small But we felt so young It was just like Christmas

about

We’re thrilled to release our first compilation, the 2020 Winter Mixtape. This comp features new, original tunes and holiday covers from every artist on our roster. Counter to the pious bent of many holiday tunes and their reliance on rote motifs, the Winter Mixtape’s songs paint a relevant and transparent picture of the holiday season in America.
