-----  ABOUT THE SONG  -----       This song is an item from the "EX-FATHER'S LAMENT" collection. It was written as a response to the ostriches who've been brain-washed to believe that it's acceptable and beneficial to sever the relationships between fathers and children. The reality, is that it is NOT either of those distortions. Writing and composing it, I've drawn from my personal experience, surviving court-rape and having my daughter Eileen stolen from me at effective gun-point (squadrons of armed paramilitary people in dark blue uniforms, enforcing criminal mandates dictated by a civil court). So, I dedicate this song to the several million other men in America who've been victimized, effectively enslaved, and criminally deprived of contact with their children - and, to their children, who've been wrongfully deprived of access to a vital developmental resource while growing up - the love, support, and guidance their fathers could have provided. Dig it.       I'd reached a point where I actually felt guilty that I'd never posted a copy of "NO SANTA" online. I'd posted a shortened version into a binary newsgroup a couple of years ago, but never a full-length copy. So, to fix this, I recently posted a hastily recorded copy of the song, at the "Soundclick" music showcase website. You can hear what "NO SANTA" is supposed to sound like, and even download a copy for your personal use (only). Here's the link for reaching the recording: Scruffy Eagle's music page, at SoundClick.com.

-----  ABOUT NOTATIONS USED  ----- This song was composed on a 6-string electric guitar. The chord structures are based on using "A-form" and "E-form" bar chords. The bar chord format is indicated by the subscripted chord name letter, as in "Dm(A)". Examples: Dm(A) = x57765 D9(A) = x57755 Gm(E) = 355333     Am(A) = x02210   Em(E) = 022000         The rhythm patterns shown here are really just simplified approximations. The reason for this, is that to indicate the actual rhythms would introduce a whole world of new complexity to the creation of this web page, in order to do it accurately. So, as a compromise to make presentation of this song achievable, I've simply indicated which chord is being played within given quarter note beat portions, or entire measures in those places where the chord doesn't change within the measure. Each line of chords on this page is two measures wide, except where there's nothing placed in the right half of the line; in those cases, the line is only one measure. (Except where the repeat notation has been used.) Use of three wavy lines ( "~~~" ) indicates instances of sustain; one set of three wavy lines, per beat the sustain is held.

Santa Clause doesn't come here, any more. He knows who's been good, and who's bad - Yeah, Santa knows who's happy and sad,... Santa Clause doesn't come here, any more. No - Santa Clause doesn't come here, any more. Ever since they kidnapped my only child, and raped me of my Rights in that un-Civil Court trial, (Ah-OOP!) Santa just stopped comin' by.
