Today's Song: Sinners and Lovers by Left Hand Smoke

I was going to say that this song is not available on iTunes or eMusic... but as it turns out, the version I have, found on Silver Platters Christmas cd Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum, is labeled On Christmas Day, but the song is actually called Sinners and Lovers and is found on Left Hand Smoke's cd Nonsense Parade. This means that it is available on iTunes, if you know what the actual song title is.

The Silver Platters cd is a pretty good one featuring local Northwest talent. Left Hand Smoke is a blues-y rock band from Seattle that I like. I have their first cd, and I especially like Blue Eyes Shining from that one (which you can also get on iTunes by the way).

Anyway... Sinners and Lovers is a nice blues-y Christmas song that I really like. It's my favorite track from the Silver Platters cd, and I'm glad to know that LHS put it on their most recent cd. Great song!

SINNERS AND LOVERS

Lookin' back, those were better times
A young man walks the street to where the old man pines

Sayin', you gotta know it don't change
And the things you've known remain, they've just been rearranged

All the sinners and all the lovers
Say, "Goodbye Jesus"
They're promised by their mothers
You're at the heart of what you believe

On Christmas Eve

Smoke gets in your eyes
Throw a log on the fire while the street choir, they harmonize

It's just a cold winter's day (it don't change)
And that fir tree will grow weak and its branches strained

All the sinners and all the lovers
Dust off the choir books and throw open the shutters
Feelin' like a newborn

On Christmas morn

You gotta know, it don't change (it don't change)
When the white street lights go out but the shadows remain

All the sinners, grab your lovers
Flash that innocent smile at one another
No one can take that away

On Christmas day
