LYRICS: —————=-=-=-=-=-=-=————— “Saturn will fatten when I've hooped ya” said Jupiter and OUR souls will strengthen when the days start to lengthen Smells like we’re Tolkien but we’re no “Silmarillion” Smouldering smudge sticks under the pavilion Trees big and bright tonight (Woo!) It’s a holy one And the bells ring out loud tonight From the Carillon on Bournville Green —————=-=-=-=-=-=-=————— Amber glowing lamp posts burst into a thousand stars And we’ve One Rainy Wish to keep candles lit in double jars. Stone circles house constellations of wishful tasks Drinking balmy concoctions from our (half full) flasks. Factory windows shine like advent calendars Summoning fairy rings.

about

I wrote this with a bunch of pagan druids at a Winter Solstice meet up on Bournville Green as the planets were colliding.

Thanks especially for all the words that rhyme with Saturn, Jupiter and Pavilion.

I think I'm saying Carillon with a French twist but there is a singalong version so you can send me your Christmas recordings of you singing it properly and with the optional Woo! from the lyrics sheet.

And finally, here is the Carillon itself: www.bournvillecarillon.co.uk/single-post/christmas-is-coming

“Saturn will fatten when I've hooped ya” said Jupiter
and
OUR souls will strengthen when the days start to lengthen

Smells like we’re Tolkien but we’re no “Silmarillion”
Smouldering smudge sticks under the pavilion

Tree's big and bright tonight
(Woo!) It’s a holy one
And the bells ring out loud tonight
From the Carillon on Bournville Green

—————=-=-=-=-=-=-=—————

Amber glowing lamp posts burst into a thousand stars
And we’ve One Rainy Wish to keep candles lit in double jars.
Stone circles house constellations of wishful tasks
Drinking balmy concoctions from our (half full) flasks.

Factory windows shine like advent calendars
Summoning fairy rings.
