lyrics

I spent Christmas in a shuriken snow globe
What you need is a towelling bathrobe
Throwing stars at the family photos
Shooting cards with a crucifix cross bow

We held together those Christmas days
Held together with sticky tape
We held together just long enough
Like paper chains

We spent Christmas in our dressing gown cords
Should a present be grounds for divorce?
Slicing us open like samurai swords
You had to open that Lidl cheese board

We held together those Christmas days
Held together with Sticky tape
We held together those Christmas days
Held together with silly games
We held together those Christmas days
Held together with movie tapes
We held together just long enough
Like paper chains

Holding on tight
Like paper chains
Like the bell ringers
Like paper chains
Take the next line
Like paper chains
You carol singers

Be still child
Let your mind shine with love
Christmas time
Let the bells chime for us
Be still child
Amazon Prime is done

Learn to survive
25th of Decembers
To a still mind
Christmas surrenders

I spent Christmas swinging two crackers
Home alone I can deal with attackers
With crossed arms like double nunchakus
I’ll Die Hard fighting hijackers

We held together those Christmas days
Held together with sticky tape
We held together those Christmas days
Held together with silly games
We held together those Christmas days
Held together with movie tapes
We held together just long enough
Like paper chains

about

Art Making Animals Leeds, UK

Art Making Animals are Ben Denison and Mark Parrini.

We started “making noise with friends” over 20 years ago with a plan to write an album one song a year.

20 years of friendship later we have finally finished what we started.

Art Making Animals is about the joy of making music with close and trusted friends, and what a joy it has been.

And if listening is love, we can’t thank you enough.
