about

One sleepy uncle's dream in an armchair is interrupted by a magical being with a festive message of self-compassion that he needs to hear

lyrics

Mr Gregg, you sleepy head
Lying in your chair when you should be in bed
Too much brandy went to your head and now you’re snoring

Then I appeared to your surprise
In a pink ballgown I look a prize
Into me your startled eyes are boring

But I am no mirage, no fake
I’m just here your hand to shake

Hello, hey, it’s me
The faerie form the top of your Christmas tree
And I’m here with a message from your heart
Hello, hey, listen up
To my truth bomb buttercup
You had some love and you let it fall apart

Every year you get the box
Out the closet and dust it off
And there I am, a painted peg in tinsel

Now I stand before you, man size
With my wand and sad kind eyes
That soak through self-denying lies like Rinso

But what is it I represent
By your subconscious what is meant

Hello, hey, it’s me
The faerie form the top of your Christmas tree
And I’m here with a message from your heart
Hello, hey, listen up
To my truth bomb buttercup
You had some love and you let it fall apart
But it’s not too late to make a fresh start

Your sister Claire is right there
Oblivious to your visitor
Your niece and nephew play on the stair with soldiers

Warm, open, kind hearts
Waiting for you to impart
Your truth that in your deepest dark still smoulders

There’s something hidden from yourself
That keeps you always on the shelf
Your family, friends and Santa’s elves
Have always known it pretty well

Hello, hey, it’s me
The faerie form the top of your Christmas tree
And I’m here with a message from your heart
Hello, hey, listen up
To my truth bomb buttercup
You had some love and you let it fall apart
But it’s not too late to make a fresh start
I hear that Mr Brown from two doors down
Is a man after your heart

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
