It’s Xmas - pretty Xmas, and I’m waiting for a presence It’s Xmas - pretty Xmas, and you know that I’m alone
It’s Xmas - pretty Xmas, and there are flowers all around Where are you Santa Klaus? Are you coming to town? Where are you Santa Klaus? When you know I’m alone... It’s Xmas - pretty Xmas, and the snow is falling down.
The Italian Sister brings me to the Chapel
to Xmas Mass - to Xmas Mass
There’s the hospital chaplain there
Grey tiles on the floor – Sister Theresa
Light chloroform air for those who stay
Some come in wheeled bed and are left waiting so long So long - forever
Left to die in the air chloroform So long - so long - forever
To Xmas Mass - to Xmass Mass
Sister Theresa speaks to dressed in white nurses Bringing the medecine they smile
It’s time for pills : red - blue - green and white All colors – Our Lady Dolors
Sister Theresa brings me to the Chapel
To Xmas Mass - to Xmass Mass
No more time, our Lady Dolors
So long - so long - forever
What a feeling :
I’m dead and asleep on the cross of cancer & obscure glasses What a feeling
So long - so long - forever
I first heard John Peel play XMAL back in '83 in the UK and I saw them live in Madrid in 1984, - have been a fan ever since. I never expected to have them on my BC ap, and so glad they're here. Hopefully the albums will appear here too - if the later record labels allow. zaclang
