A simple song for Christmas about the joys of home made gifts.

Lyrics - 

Put the one arm Santa on the Christmas tree
The Christmas tree
The Christmas tree
Put the one arm Santa on the Christmas tree
And lady maybe think of me
Lady maybe think of me

Christmas time is a time to share 
So I thought I'd make you something just to show I care
An effigy of Father C
For you to hang with glee upon your Christmas tree
For you to hang with glee upon your Christmas tree

Put the one arm Santa on the Christmas tree
The Christmas tree
The Christmas tree
Put the one arm Santa on the Christmas tree
And lady maybe think of me
Lady maybe think of me

Ah yeah!

With my needle and thread it didn't go like I'd planned
Now Little Saint Nick has only got one hand
But his lack of other arm doesn't do him any harm
Because he's hanging from your tree in all his singular charm
He's hanging from your tree in all his singular charm

Put the one arm Santa on the Christmas tree
The Christmas tree
The Christmas tree
Put the one arm Santa on the Christmas tree
And lady maybe think of me

Put the one arm Santa on the Christmas tree
The Christmas tree
The Christmas tree
Put the one arm Santa on the Christmas tree
And lady maybe think of me
Lady maybe think of me

One Arm Santa

Lyrics: 
Your rictus smile is giving way like pressure building in a hose/ So much for rolling with a punch instead you took it on the nose/ Tell me that you’re doing well/ It must be snowing in hell/ It’s snowing in hell/ You thought it all to be a game until the day the dice were thrown/ No consolation prize you’re taking only disappointment home/ You say you’re happy with the cards they dealt/ Like butter wouldn’t ever melt/ It’s snowing in hell/ Good will has jumped out of the window to a hundred story fall/ Yet still you think your faith will be enough to see you through it all/ Sleeping through the wake-up bell/ It must be snowing in hell/ It’s snowing in hell

R.J. Archer & the Painful Memories

It's Snowing in Hell

Its Snowing In Hell

Second single from debut album 'Hot Mess' out now on all major digital platforms.

Lyrics - 
Pardon my suspicion
But I reserve the right to raise an eyebrow
I've seen your charade and the bed that you've made for me now
Honey you're an artist
And I know I ain't the smartest but the games up
There's a shadow of doubt, I'll figure it out somehow

All you've gotta do is
Show me a little mercy
Because I've seen all I wanna see

You're so underhanded
And i don't understand just what we're doing here lady
At first I believed now I think I'll be leaving yeah
I've hot my dignity
And I'm gonna do my best to take it with me, but maybe
It's too late in the day and you've already played me yeah

All you've gotta do is
Show me a little mercy
Because I've seen all I wanna see

Stoking jealousy in somebody just by having me here
Making me your muse in a ruse to make someone reappear

All you've gotta do is
Show me a little mercy
Because I've seen all I wanna see

A Little Mercy

Lead single from debut album 'Hot Mess' out now on all major digital platforms.
