Death May Be Your Santa Claus, Ian Hunter, Bag Of Tricks (Vol 2)

Originally Death May Be Your Santa Claus was a Mott The Hoople track on Brain Capers and it was co-written with Verden Allen. The first title of the song was harmless as How Long but it was the mind of producer Guy Stevens to go with the more sinister title that emerged. The title came from a 1969 art film of the same name which presents the nihilistic visions of a young black European militant. Hunter thinks it is just ok but it is one of the most compelling compositions of Ian's work and is performed well live. Verden contributed a great deal to the track.

The live version from 2002 was coupled with Rock 'n' Roll Queen and not released until Bag of Tricks (Vol. 2). It was recorded at The Life Cafe, Manchester UK 19th May 2002.

A corn exchange is a building where merchants trade grains. The word "corn" in British English denotes all cereal grains, such as wheat and barley; in the United States these buildings were called grain exchange. Such trade was common in towns and cities across England until the 19th century, but as the trade became centralised in the 20th century many such buildings were used for other purposes. Several have since become historical landmarks.

In the United States, the Minneapolis Grain Exchange is still used to manage the commodities and futures exchange of grain products.

Death May Be Your Santa Claus

(Ian Hunter/Verden Allen)

How long 'fore you realise you swing
How long 'fore you realise you sting
From the good to the bad to the ugly change
How long 'fore you start to rearrange
How long how long 'fore you realise that all's strange

How long will it take to turn you around
How long will it take to bend you down
It makes you believe in the [real] exchange
How long will it take for me to rearrange
How long how long 'fore you realise that all's strange

Well I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say
I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say

How long 'fore you realise what you missed
How long 'fore we get out and may get pissed
You get all the books from the Corn Exchange
Really mad at this outrage
How long how long 'fore you realise that all's strange
I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say
I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say

How long
How long
How long
How long
Won't you tell me how long
Won't you tell me how long
Won't you tell me how long
Won't you tell me how long
How long will it take
How long will it take
How long will it take (yeah)
How long will it take
