    The Super-Deluxe set is a one-of-a-kind special-edition set featuring many one-off items that will never be made available again. Packaged in an exclusive retro metal lunchbox (don’t pretend you’re too young to remember them), you will receive our Christmas EP in a rare physical format and so much more. What’s included:

    1. Retro metal lunchbox with vintage “A Very Tantrum Christmas” comedic artwork

    13. Exclusive do-not-disturb door hanger with “FUCK OFF, IT’S SANTA TIME” and the Santa Time artwork

    Each set is produced by Tantrum themselves – these are not mass produced; in fact nothing included in the set is mass produced. We believe that our supporters need to understand how much they’re appreciated, and so we strive to provide them with merchandise that no other band can, and it’s important to us that we produce as much as possible in-house to show that appreciation. The only item outsourced in this bundle is the t-shirt.

Santa Time 04:43
Santa time is coming round for you... You won't be getting stuff tomorrow The best things always fade away The man in red will claim his prizes And use his sleigh as getaway No point in looking through the cupboards And there's nothing underneath the tree Santa time is coming round for you Hide your presents while you can Santa time could be the end for you So light your chimneys, burn the man He is the master of the forced entry The man don't need no open doors Your blackened hole is where he longs to be His sack is full, but he wants more No point in calling out authorities He buys them off with all his hos [SPOKEN] Twas the night before Christmas and, quiet as a mouse, The one they call Santa Claus, crept through your house. In blood-red crimson, this shadowy sight, would pilfer your gifts in the dead of the night. And if any children were to witness this show without hesitation, in his giant sack, they'd go Trapped in his workshop devoid of all toys his meth lab controlled by enslaved girls and boys Santa time is coming round for you Hide your children while you can Santa's sweatshop needs a child or two So light your chimneys, burn the man Your hopes are gone if you're awake Avoid his face for your own sake For if he feels identified You sure as hell are gonna die I had a little present underneath the tree but now it's christmas morning and there's nothing there for me And I can't find my brother or my parents in the house for all around is silent and quiet as a mouse
