The Town That Time Forgot (feat. Lucius) - T Bone Burnett

He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot He sent a note to Santa For some soldiers and a drum It broke his little heart When he found Santa hadn't come In the street, he envies all those lucky boys Then wanders home to last year's broken toys I'm so sorry for that laddie He hasn't got a daddy The little boy that Santa Claus forgot You know, Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy The laughter and the joy they find in each brand new toy I'll tell you of a little boy who lives across the way This little fella's Christmas is just another day He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot In the street, he envies all those lucky boys Then wanders home to last year's broken toys I'm so sorry for that laddie He hasn't got a daddy The little boy that Santa Claus forgot

Christmas time is here Happiness and cheer Fun for all That children call Their favorite time of year Snowflakes in the air Carols everywhere Olden times And ancient rhymes Of love and dreams to share Sleigh bells in the air Beauty everywhere Yuletide by the fireside And joyful memories there Christmas time is here We'll be drawing near Oh that we could always see Such spirit through the year Sleigh bells in the air Beauty everywhere Yuletide by the fireside And joyful memories there Christmas time is here We'll be drawing near Oh that we could always see Such spirit through the year

I forgot that love existed, trouble in my mind Heartache after heartache, worried all the time I forgot that love existed Then I saw the light Everyone around me make everything alright Oh, oh Socrates and Plato they Praised it to the skies Anyone who's ever loved Everyone who's ever tried If my heart could do my thinking And my head begin to feel I would look upon the world anew And know what's truly real Instrumental Well I forgot that love existed And it strangled but my heart But I turned a brand-new leaf And made a brand-new start If my heart could do my thinking and my Head began to feel Would I look upon a world anew? And know what's truly real (What's truly real) (I forgot that love existed) (What's truly real) (I forgot that love existed) (What's truly real) Instrumental

How many days did I spent thinking 'Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong? Lived in the shade you were throwing 'Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone And I couldn't get away from you In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah Your name on my lips, tongue-tied Free rent, living in my mind But then something happened one magical night I forgot that you existed And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't And it was so nice So peaceful and quiet I forgot that you existed It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference I forgot that you... Got out some popcorn As soon as my rep started going down, down, down Laughed on the schoolyard as soon as I Tripped up and hit the ground, ground, ground And I would've stuck around for ya Would've fought the whole town, so yeah Would've been right there, front row Even if nobody came to your show But you showed who you are Then one magical night I forgot that you existed And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't And it was so nice So peaceful and quiet I forgot that you existed It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference I forgot that you... Sent me a clear message Taught me some hard lessons I just forget what they were It's all just a blur I forgot that you existed And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn't And it was so nice So peaceful and quiet I forgot that you existed I did, I did, I did It isn't hate, it's just indifference It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference Oh yeah

Little girls, little girls Everywhere I turn I can see them Little girls, little girls Night and day I eat, sleep and breathe them I'm an ordinary woman with feelings I'd like a man to nibble on my ear But I'll admit no man has bit So how come I'm the mother of the year? How I hate little shoes, little socks And each little bloomer I'd have cracked years ago If it weren't for my sense of humor Some women are dripping with diamonds Some women are dripping with pearls Lucky me, lucky me Look at what I'm dripping with Little girls Little cheeks, little teeth Everything around me is little If I wring little necks Surely I would get an acquittal Some day I'll step on their freckles Some night I'll straighten their curls Send a flood, send the flu Anything that you can do to little, little, little Little, little, lit-, little Little girls Some day I'll land in the nut house With all the nuts and the squirrels There I'll stay tucked away Till the prohibition of little girls
