Christmastime (Is A Time To Be Polite) 03:36
lyrics
Is this all there is On your Christmas list? Is this all you wish for A Christmas Kiss? Is this all there is On your Christmas list? How can I say 'no' When you ask me politely How can I say 'no' When you put it so nicely How can I say 'no' Although I know it's not right Christmastime is a time to be polite. Perhaps you'd have me wrapped As a Christmas gift Me beneath the tree A merry mistletoe kiss I see that you believe In a Christmas wish How can I say 'no' When you ask me politely How can I say 'no' When you put it so nicely How can I say 'no' Although I know it's not right Christmastime is a time to be polite. Streets are virgin white Tippexed over night Covered up mistakes Adrift is all it takes A thank you note and fresh start Should warm us to the heart Or so I'm told But all I feel is cold How can I say 'no' When you ask me politely How can I say 'no' When you put it so nicely How can I say 'no' Although I know it's not right Christmastime is a time to be polite.

Carousels 03:15
lyrics
Ride at a fairground Act surprised as your insides have fallen away Waltzers are dancing Leaving you gasping and clawing for air What's fun about unfair? Stores offer prizes Rigged from the outset With no way to claim Fortunes are lost Lost on unfortunate gods of a ring toss that's fixed from the start And breaks children's hearts Carousels go around and up and down Where horses rise and fall again and Roll up roll up roll up... Carousels go around and up and down So rise merrily around Wrapped up in plastic Clasped in a child's fist Last 'til forgotten Spun out of control

Hope Springs (New Acoustic Version) 05:59
lyrics
At Hope Springs Where love brings everything Down to the ground At Hope Springs We'll take a sip be reborn or drown Do we really keep pretending We're in for a happy ending When we've only just begun like The Carpenters sung long ago What do they know (Truth hurts) I'm letting go (Made worse) And I wanna show... That Hope Springs Where love brings everything Down to the ground At Hope Springs We'll take a sip be reborn or drown Close both your eyes A surprise is beginning See how the planets begin to stop spinning Stars behind eyes stay frozen in patterns Constant constellations Where nothing else matters Do you think you still adore me Now I make me kneel before me And I see by your eyes you realise Oh please don't cry It's only love that's died At Hope Springs Where love brings everything Down to the ground At Hope Springs We'll take a sip be reborn or drown
