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:

    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.

lyrics

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
