from Oannes *

…Αυτή εδώ είναι μια ακόμα παρωδία Χριστουγέννων – χωρίς καμιά βεβαιότητα ότι το ίδιο δεν θα ισχύει και του χρόνου… Εν πάση περιπτώσει, η ελπίδα πεθαίνει τελευταία. Υπάρχει αυτό το τραγουδάκι των Damned από το 1980, ιδανικό για την περίσταση.

…This is one more Christmas charade – without any reassurance that next year’s won’t be the same… Anyway, hope dies last. There ‘s this little number by the Damned, from 1980, perfect for the occasion.

Καλά Χριστούγεννα σε όλους ! Merry Christmas everybody!

❝ Rabies got the scabies now he’s down on all fours
Hasn’t helped his drumming, changing hands for paws
Afraid he’s quarantined, means no more foreign tours
Ah ha, there ain’t no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Vanian had a visit from a guy named Drac
Says he’s from the blood bank wants his ten pints back
Singer’s rather sickly, when it rains it pours
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
Did you expect that I would believe
The tale you told last Christmas Eve
About the man
That man is fat and round
Delivers gifts without a sound
Here comes uncle Nick
Let’s give him some stick
Here comes uncle Nick
Let’s give him some stick
Captain’s out of order ’cause he thinks he’s Jaws
Biting lady punters on the Norfolk Broads
Paul plays the bass he’s just debased that’s all
Oh no, there ain’t no sanity clause
There ain’t no sanity clause ❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
