Oh Jesus, it's Christmas time again
I have no money, my friend
My socks are all holy, and so is my soul
But the kids are all thrilled
Their pockets are filled
But will I ever get what I want?
God dammit, it’s Christmas and I’m alone
I return to an unlit home
If I had one wish for my Christmas list
It’d be for a girl who could buy me the world
I won’t have to work anymore
It’s been a long, long, long lonely year
And I’m glad you’re here
Can I ask you dear…
To keep me warm and hold me tight all through the night?
Can I borrow your credit card, my beautiful wife?
Praise Jesus, it’s Christmas time again!
I’ll buy presents for all my friends
It’s a wonderful life with a wealthy wife!
Matt needs more hair
Jeff wants a maid
Tommy just wants to get laid
It’s been a long, long, long lonely year
And I’m glad you’re here
Can I ask you dear…
To keep me warm and hold me tight all through the night?
I don’t wanna be alone the rest of my life

James A.M. Downes New York, New York
Brooklyn based singer-songwriter. James A.M. Downes has been around since 2002, knee deep in the basements of the American
indie/hardcore scene.
His debut EP Prison Font reverberates with lush guitar beds and new-retro progressions that are the bedrock to lyrical narratives that teem with dark humor and humility.
