Gritty, biting folk in the tradition of the poets, bards, and troubadors.
Steve Ripley says of Timbre Wolf's music:
Its all cool. Actually, I can say different and mean it - and mean it in a good way. Dont hear much different these d
Story behind the song
Christmas Eve 2006 I was brought to tears thinking about our kids in Iraq. I wrote this then hoping that there would be no use for this song in the futuer . . . wrong.
Lyrics
Christmastime in Baghdad
Copyright Timbre Wolf
It's a silent night, it's a holy night when you hear the shot ring
If you listen very carefully you can hear the angels sing
It's Christmastime in Baghdad, It's Christmas once again
It's Christmastime in Baghdad, when will this ever end?
I've been workin' hard to find all of those WMDs
If I could only find one then I'd put your mind at ease
It's Christmastime in Baghdad, It's Christmas once again
It's Christmastime in Baghdad, when will this ever end?
I came here 'cause I had too, I really had no choice
I can't afford no college, in this war I had no voice
I came here on a promise to make a better world
I came to make house payments for my children and my girl
“Support Our Troops” well yes I do
But I know who don't, you see?
Sendin' our kids without kevlar vests in unarmoured humvees
The yellow ribon 'round the oak tree oughta be 'round your neck!
You oughta be strung up for lyin' but golly gee, what the heck, right?
It's Christmastime in Baghdad, It's Christmas once again
It's Christmastime in Baghdad, when will this madness end?
It's a silent night, it's a holy night when you hear the shot ring
If you listen very carefully you can hear the angels sing
It's Christmastime in Baghdad, It's Christmas once again
It's Christmastime in Baghdad, when will this madness end?
will this madness end?
will this madness end?
Ah ah ah
ah ah oh
