REV. TOM FROST - "A Christmas Funeral Coat" (2025)

 

Christmas comes a little bit early this year because my buddy in Paris, Rev.Tom Frost, just released this single. You can get your very own, or any of his other amazing work on his Bandcamp Page

It's pretty rowdy so in case you can't understand some of the well thought out lyrics,

Here you go!!

 "She left a note on the fridge with lipstick and rage,
Said “merry Christmas baby, I’m turning the page”.
The cat knocked down the plastic star,
And the landlord is singing at the dive next door,
And I wrapped up a poem in a paper bag.

The jukebox wheezed out “Silent Night”
While a drunk sang along, picking a fight.
The city wore frost like a funeral coat,
And the angels were late, stuck in traffic or broke,
And I wrapped up a poem in a paper bag.

Whiskey bells and cigarette snow,
A toast to the saints we’ll never know.
The tree’s half-lit, the rent’s past due,
But I saved a match just for you,
And I wrapped up a poem in a paper bag.

Judas came back in a thrift store coat,
Asked for a smoke and a five-dollar note.
He said “love is a war and peace is a joke”,
Then vanished in steam from a manhole smoke,
I wrapped up a poem in a paper bag.

Christmas bells and tango snow,
A toast to the ghosts who never show.
The night is cold, the world’s askew,
But I saved this song just for you,
And I wrapped up a poem in a paper bag."

 

 The easy part is, all you have to do is enjoy!
