The Town Hall Band

The snow is falling lightly
On earth as hard as stone
The milkman's in his milk float
And he wants to go home

The children of the school
Love the lollipop man
They give him cards and presents
’cause he does the best he can

Chorus:
And the snow blows down St. Peter's Avenue
I look up at the stars and I think of you
And outside the Co-op the people stand
Waiting to join in with the Town Hall band

Play out your carols and we'll sing them loudly
Play out your carols and we’ll sing them loudly

The council put a tree up
They didn't have a clue
The busеs all slow down
To give the kids a bettеr view

The paper-man is shouting out
The headlines of the day
I wish he'd sing the carol
'cause he's no good news to say

Chorus:
And the snow blows down St. Peter's Avenue
I look up at the stars and I think of you
And outside the Co-op the people stand
Waiting to join in with the Town Hall band

The collieries have all closed down
They tried to kill our little town
We carry on, we still believe
'cause we're a strong community

The policeman by the lights
Makes a traffic stop
The Miner’s Club has built a float
With Santa on the top

And I watch it up the road
Until it disappears
And wish with all my heart
That my dad was still here

Chorus:
And the snow blows down St. Peter’s Avenue
I look up at the stars and I think of you
And outside the Co-op the people stand
Waiting to join in with the Town Hall band

The snow blows down St. Peter's Avenue
I look up at the stars and I think of you
And outside the Co-op the people stand
Waiting to join in with the Town Hall band

The snow blows down St. Peter’s Avenue
I look up at the stars and I think of you
And outside the Co-op the people stand
Waiting to join in with the Town Hall band

(Dylan Thomas sample)
Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rage at close of day
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
