Name: The Christmas Tower
Duration: P00H03M06S
Description: What Christmas album would be complete without someone comparing our obsession with holiday decorations with the construction of the Tower Of Babel. The chorus came to me in the shower, and it was so catchy, fun and dumb that I had to cut the cleansing short to record it immediately before I forgot it. Whenever you can rip off Slade…rip off Slade.

lyrics

We got 4 hours
In the car
We'll build a tower
To the stars
Everywhere we go
We'll see it from below
Fill the night sky
With flashing lights

Come on come on come on let's go
Come on out and play in the snow
Come on come on come on let's go
Come on out and play in the snow

A thousand stories
Of ornaments
A massive glory
You can see from space
So much better
Than your tree
Our celebration
Won't be denied

Chorus

It disappears
Into the clouds
With giant stockings
Along the side
Jolly St Nick
Can't miss this
Don't need a reindeer
To be his guide

Chorus

We got 4 hours
In the car
We'll build a tower
To the stars
