I once had a dream, made me smile About 600 girls with 9,000 styles Red, yellow, pink hair - shaved on 1 side With no shave armpit, gonna make her my bride But there’s 599 more. 599 more in store for you What are you gonna do with just 1 girl? The voice was right, reminded me About the freedom of dream reality And now I’m lucid, stupid No time to thank baby Cupid ‘Cause I was sucking on the tongues of Art Institute Girls I once had a dream, made me laugh That sex was my art and love was my craft With bras of lace and panties of cotton But the girls want to sleep with Johnny Rotten But there’s 599 more. 599 bad boys just like you What are you gonna do to get that girl? The voice was wrong, I was in a dream The art school girls were ready to cream And I don’t know nothing ‘bout art, they say But I know about love and that’s okay

I said I wanna be on Top of the Pops I really wanna be on Top of the Pops Just like an Old Grey Whistle Test It’s not the worst, it is the best I wanna sing about the moon-ah & June-ah I wanna be like Iggy Stooge-ah, acting rude-ah On TV you’ll see my face, running from the human race Sixteen, clumsy, and shy - A pop star such as I I wanna be a Top of the Pops Star (Killing himself to be a) Relative rockstar in my world BBC will hear my voice, running from the human choice Sistine Chapel & Chime - Season of the crime

Everyone holler for the Worldbank baby of the day Everyone holler for Harrison Dollar The Worldbank baby of the day If you get a call from Harrison Dollar You better answer it right away La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Harrison Dollar He wants to go to art school but it’s just a tater tot school And the women there are all too scared to change his diaper underwear His mummy wants to leave him so she can go a-go-go He’ll never learn to clean himself, instead he’ll punky pogo

Never gonna be your maternal feeling I’m not your eternal cretin Don’t need sympathy ‘cause I can get affection Did I forget to mention Self-sufficiency is my protection And I’m never gonna be your maternal feeling I heard someone say she got a girl erection from the boy in correction That surprised me ‘cause he have severe brain damage And negative finances But she felt sorry and so for him twerk dances And I'm never gonna think I’m a understand Why she don’t want a self-made man like me I heard someone say she she’d rather suck the junk out Of his arterial blood-spout That surprised me ‘cause he have some-kinda-itis See if she get the virus But that don’t matter much if he’s skinny and stylish Noise Mom, Noise Mom! I don’t want a noise mom even if she’s hot Even if she’ll do anything I want I don’t want a noise mom even if she’s got a lot of soul Even if she’ll do anything I want her to

I don’t wanna fall for another Aries First they charm me, then they harm me I don’t wanna fall for another Aries When they’re gone, I cherish their panties 2 different girls born 6 days apart Is it really any coincidence? That they should act the same Play with my brain then leave me with myself to entertain 1 of them loved me more but she doesn’t love me any more 1 of the several guys will become the one I most despise Now she’d rather get beat by a junkie on the street Than sleep with me because I gave her nice things

Am I masochist? I like to think that I can’t have you babe You’ll be the one who throws me in my grave We got this thing that’s so sexual But believe me, girl - it’s consensual You got me riding straight to my head Please don’t deny me a heavy pet You wonder I take all of your abuse Because you got me so strung out on your caboose You got that single, solid thing I crave If you really loved me I would not be your slave If it’s Freudian, I’ll slip it in It’s your vanilla that needs polishing

People say that I look like Booger That I look like Dudley Dawson Yes, yes - I must confess It is an insecurity of mine And when it’s cold outside Pretend I am a skinny boy And on a starless night Engorge my member filled with joy Gimme head ’til I’m dead Never mind, that’s not what you heard what I just said He’s not a Mongreloid He’s just a half-dog caveman, man From old Japan Before they built all of that crap People say I got moves like Jagger But Mick is a dick and he don’t have a jacket Why would I wanna be compared to that Hivel-swipped monkey with a heart attack? He’s not an unemployed He’s just an almost unemployed From old Detroit before they built all of those cars

My mother always knows where I am My mother is momnipotent My mother is the woman who understands She is the one who’s momnipotent My mother always knows where I am My mother, police officer My mother is the woman who understands My mother is not my father Officer The old girl has got some radar She doesn’t have to try very hard She doesn’t have to look very far Because the old girl has got some radar I love my mother! Amo mi madré!

The girl doesn’t care ‘cause she’s a clever girlfriend The boy doesn’t care ‘cause he’s a pleasure boyfriend The world doesn’t care ‘cause it’s a blonde ambition Who’s it kissing now? Such a clever wonder now the Coroner should know my thoughts He must be Ambassador of the Lost Such a clever wonder, now the cameras are in the bar They must be searching for a guitar Isn’t it frightening, all of this fighting? Isn’t it boring, all of this touring? Why would I lie to you? Why would I lie? I wanna be there, I wanna be scared

Spaceship Grape the Grape-Shaped Ship Sucking on a solar spliff Lucky like a lunar lick It’s Spaceship Grape the Grape-Shaped Ship Spaceship Grape the Grape-Shaped Ship Totally total eclipse Leftover hand over fist It’s Spaceship Grape the Grape-Shaped Ship Spaceship Grape, don’t fly away

It's Bedlam in Brideford, baby! See how we live, see how we sleep, dream. Tour is rough, baby. Who's gonna feed the drummer? You guys are hip, you know how it is. Any hornet's nest we hang our hat on is our home. And any bed we brazenly borrow (steal) is our bed. A barrowful of Bride!

The latest & greatest by your friendly, neighborhood Christmas Bride! Re-records of some old hits & some wee re-chords of some new shits! Plus a cover song!

about

The Christmas Bride Chicago, Illinois

As the only traditional sounding punk band on a bill coupled with harsh noise musicians, the Christmas Bride found themselves in an unusual and uncomfortable situation. The venue was dark and damp, the sound of screeching feedback and distorted frequencies filling the air. The Christmas Bride took the stage, feeling out of place and unsure of how their music would be received by the audience. ... more
