Xmas in Hell

I got a tree and it burned
I put a stocking on the mantle and it burned
I nailed a wreath upon the door and it burned
alas such are the pitfalls of Christmas in Hell, Christmas in Hell

we had some holiday tinsel and it burned (holiday tinsel)
we had some sheet music of carols and they burned (la, la, la)
with all the screaming souls they were hard to learn, anyway
alas such are the pitfalls of Christmas in Hell
constant dips in the lake of fire and the nasty brim stone smell
alas such are the pitfalls of Christmas in Hell

I tried to meet with Rudolph to see if he would pull my pitchfork sleigh
but before I could speak with him
one of my demons cooked him as a fine fillet
it wasn’t supposed to be that way

alas such are the pitfalls of Christmas in Hell
constant dips in the lake of fire and the nasty brim stone smell
alas such are the pitfalls of Christmas in Hell, Christmas in Hell
everything just sounds like screaming
tortured souls and pools of lava steaming
Christmas in Hell (Hell)

	Spike in Hell Spike, Totally enjoyed this incredible track. You have a great voice my friend. Cute and funny but with music so smooth and seductive I just don't really give a damn. Your harmonies are invinceable! Have you every heard Andy Newell? he did a CD with Andy Partridge of XTC you might like. It's called "The Greastest Living Englishman" Check out my latest song called Frank's Song

The Devils Xmas
Well, it's great to have you back here, man. I loved your stuff before, and this is just wonderful. Your voice is smooth, and reminds me a little of Elvis Costello in parts. The arrangements and production are fantastic, with great vocal harmonies.
The best thing is, of course, as a piece of genre music, this is first class, and then you dump on it with the lyrics, but you sing it with (burning) soul and totally straightfaced.

Merry Xmas

Steve

	Must be this time of year Beautiful harmonies, fantastic! Nice chord progressions as well. I really dig your voice. Guitarsolo sounds a bit too far away if u know what I mean...the song up to that point is very direct. Too much reverb for my taste (in the solo, that is). But overall extremely enjoyable material! Check out my latest song called Butterfly

	Solo... Okay so here's my concept of the solo, because usually I don't like that much verb either. I was imagining the devil sitting on a rock, next to the lake of fire in a big cavern. He's sad that he can't really celebrate Xmas, so he plays his lonely, over verbed solo... Check out my latest song called Mighty Cracker Fly

	what a great idea!! I love the entire arrangement, and the lyrics are brilliant. Great job of taking a random idea and turning it into something GREAT ! Check out my latest song called So Selfish (The FINAL FINAL version)

	Interesting...interesting I looked at the lyrics, and was expecting a really different style of music to carry it. This is just something I'm still trying to figure out. In the meantime, however, your voice is just superb for the musical style, and instrumentation and vocal harmonies are really nice. Check out my latest song called What a Friend We Have in Jesus

	Costello for sure Excellent vocals indeed, and a very cool take on this interesting concept : ) I like the space that the solo occupies, and as someone said, the chord progression is very cool indeed. If downloads become available before Xmas, this will definitely join the other tracks on my CD for Xmas day. Thanks! Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

	You have... one of, if not the best musical senses of humor on MacJams. I'll need to snag a copy of this when downloads are back. It's gonna go in the file with FFFF! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	Downloads are back! Thank you again for the song! --- "An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind." John Mellencamp Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	Subversive It's very funny, obviously, but what really sells it is that it's a 100% professional production, so good that if a person were listening to this in the background they might mindlessly hum along or tap their toe to it, never realizing the humour. Now that's subversive, my friend! Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

	Nice! Great tune and great concept, you are able to pull it off nicely. Check out my latest song called Giving Up (Instrumental)

	Absolutly Brilliant! This has got to be the most clever thing I've heard in ages! Don't know why but, reminded me of something Cake might do. :) Merry Christmas! Check out my latest song called Follow the Bouncing Bear With the Kazoo Blues in E (MJRF)

	Wickedly funny What kind of mind imagines what Christmas would be like in hell? I really like the dichotomy of the lyrics with the easy jazzy feel of the music. The bongo drums are a nice touch. Really nice job here. Check out my latest song called CAPTURE THE RAPTURE

	Christmas is such a sentimental time Brought a tear to my eye remembering all those fond Yuletide memories. Should definitely become a holiday standard. Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

	Perfectly sums up what xmas is for a lot of people I agree with echorooms comment - but i think more difford and tilbrook than costello... bravo
