lyrics

So Few Have So Much

'Tis the season To wish for yours
As you yearn for the other shore

Hold your breath Try not to drown
As this whole whirlpool pulls you down

Tell us what you wanted
What you cannot have
In one little message
You'll be so glad

So few have so much
So few have so much
You'll remember just
When to look and not to touch

We pulled down the stars In this gilded age
And built for you a concrete cage

Locked in your space With the exits blocked
When the fire came you weren't even shocked

We've got a surprise
We've brought him to life
Right before your very eyes

So few have so much
So few have so much
The world you see above
Is not the one you're dreaming of

This Is not a Christmas song
And the story that you know is a Santa - con

So few have so much
So few have so much
There's nowhere to run
When you're the one they're preying on

So few have so much
So few have so much
The world you see above
Is not the one your dreaming of

Star-Crossed

Really can't pick a favourite track on this album, or indeed any of HVG's 12 thus far released albums - every single track of theirs is a favourite. How these guys are not massively huge is a complete mystery to me. Check them out now, you will not be disappointed. Marcus Ferguson
