lyrics

“Dear Santa”
By Ray Brown and Bob Gallagher

Santa, I know it’s been a long time
But there’s something I really really need

250,000 euro, a little cottage on the north side of Dublin and a D4 visa
And a bunch of MDMA

Last night I started crying
Watching Glen Hansard on Youtube
Singing Auld Triangle in iveagh gardens
This shit has got to end

I’ve been out with Odin
On the wild hunt
Flying thru the night sky
Making the dogs howl
Making the grown men cry

So I know that you’re a fraud
I don’t want your stolen art and phony Boy Scouts and Coney Island bullfights
Just get me to Dublin tonight

Dear Santa
Please please please
Get me out of Dublin
And I won’t call the cops on you
Oh, I know that you’re running a con

“Ireland is tiny and miserable”-
Me when I’m there
“I come from the Emerald Isle
Land of saints and scholars
My father is a pint
My blood is Kerry Gold” -
Me when I’m here

All I need is an 0 visa
Maybe Bird Coler could help you get that for me
If not, you’re going to jail
But I’m not going back to Dublin, I’m going to Italy

Harmony is a magical / beautiful thing

But I don’t think it will
Ever be for me
