Love Me for Christmas
05:47
|
|||
When I saw you in late August
It already felt like fall
You were crying in the Starbucks
At the Crabtree Mall
I thought about you 'til November
Then I finally picked up the phone
You said I was really sweet to care
But it was time for you to be alone
Don't you know that I adore you
But all I seem to do is bore you
So please let me implore you
To
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Well I've had some lousy holidays
But this one takes the cake
All the gestures are empty
All the decorations are fake
I always knew he didn't love you
Even though he tried to care
Now you're gonna go and treat me
Like I'm not even there
You could try to get to know me
Instead of blowing me off so phony
Make this Christmas that less lonely
If you
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Well I hear the bells are ringing
And little children singing
Their stupid songs
Now the Northern wind is blowing
And my heart is cold as stone
So I guess I should be going
Merry Christmas
Please leave me alone
So I'll wish you a Merry Christmas
Before I end this sad existence
Cause
You won't love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
You won't love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
You won't love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Why won't you love me for Christmas?
Love me for Christmas
Love me for Christmas
Why won't you love me for
Please could you love me for Christmas?
Love me for Christmas

Cosy Evenings
02:14
|

They couldn't hear a thing
Mudpack face and slippers
Seemed so faintly undisturbed
So many things said without a word
And those cozy christmas evenings are gone forever
And those cozy christmas evenings are gone forever
I'm six weeks overdue
And i'm already over you dear
He simply sat around and nodded
And the TV girl said "abortion is a sin"
And those cozy christmas evenings are gone forever
And those cozy christmas evenings are gone forever
Mouths aren't rational
Mouths need feeding
And when the system screws you
Mouths get desperate
And those cozy christmas evenings are gone forever
And those cozy christmas evenings are gone forever
And as people made their way to Walmart on a Wednesday
She said "if the pastor buys the Pampers
Then the pastor can welcome me into his herd"
And those cozy christmas evenings are gone forever
And those cozy christmas evenings are gone forever

Great Adventure
08:24
|

We both woke up on Christmas morn
In separate beds across the hall
My parents' house, my mother's laws
We couldn't wait until tomorrow
The bumper hanging in the snow
My dad asked, "Sure you have to go?"
And mom said, "See, I told you so
You should've rented a U-Haul"
By 12 o'clock, we hit the road
Our stomachs full, a heavy load
Our chariot a V-8 Ford
It would be a great adventure
In Buffalo we were stopped and stared at
The customs man said, "Pull over there"
I brushed your cheek, you stroked my hair
As we waited for an eternity
They called our names through the speaker buzz
And asked us what our purpose was
For crossing the border like Santa Claus
Were we trying to pull a fast one?
They asked you all about your new job
One played good cop, one took notes
They emptied the car and searched for drugs
Or whatever it was they were looking for
And left it all piled up beside the trunk
And wished us good luck
With Canada in our rearview mirror
And Christmas carols on the stereo
The snow fell hard, the road went clear
Black ice, our Christmas miracle
We crawled along the thruway ride
The snow was rising on each side
The windshield wipers kept the time
To the Yobs and "Feliz Navidad"
We pulled into a Cracker Barrel
Hardly gay in our apparel
The waitress said, "My name is Cheryl.
Take your time. It looks rough out there."
You look like you're on some kind of
great adventure"
You said you'd like the veggie plate
I ordered chicken deep-fried steak
You gave me a look, I said, "Give me a break
It's my first meal in America"
The muffler fell off the back of the car
'round Clarksburg, West Virginia
You held my hand and we tried to laugh
But we couldn't hear much after that
79 is a boring drive
I'd hardly know you were alive
Without you snoring by my side
And missing the great adventure
Missing the great adventure
Uh-huh
The Citgo sign said 24 hours
I bought Perrier and pecan turtles
And wilting red gas station flowers
You said, "Now, that's romantic"
We stopped at 12 at Motel 8
The only place that looked open late
They have HBO won't that be great?
We fell asleep in the first five minutes of The Sopranos
We woke up in each other's arms
We kissed then lost a couple hours
And then we tried to find our clothes
All scrunched up in the covers
We thought that was a pretty good start
To our great adventure
My dad said, "Take Highway 19, son
It'll shave two hours off Charleston
But in Summersville remember to slow down
That speed trap is the absolute worst"
You said, "Slow down, we're making time
There isn't any finish line"
I said, "We're only doing 55"
That's when the flashing lights came up behind us
The cop sauntered up to the window
Said, "65 in a 50 zone"
I said, "There's no way
You must have the wrong car in your radar"
We left $200 lighter
On our great adventure
She yelled, "Stop," I tried to brake
The swerve part was a bad mistake
Whatever we hit I heard it break
Soon we both started crying
Finally we turned around
And drove the half an hour down
To lay that turtle in the ground
But we didn't have a shovel or anything
Through the tunnel, 'round the mountains
Up and down to Winston-Salem
On the edge of Greensboro
We caught some college radio
But they never said
What those songs were
The sign said 12 miles to Chapel Hill
She smiled and leaned on the windowsill
The rental place was nice but still
We had to get some groceries
We fought over the price of ham
And Bounty versus the Kroger brand
In the checkout line
We wondered could we stand each other's company
We cuddled up in front of the TV
And ate our ham and cranberry
On brown bread with a slice of cheese
And retired to the bedroom
And that was only the very start
Of our very long
And very wonderful
Very great adventure

Hard Candy Christmas
03:01

Hey, maybe I'll cut my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far they'll all lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep in late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on berry wine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
Hey, maybe I'll learn to code
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone and make him mine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
Yeah
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
'Cause I'll be fine
Yeah
I'll be fine

All of the leaves have fallen
Buried beneath the snow
They’d dig themselves all out but
There’s nowhere for them to go
The birds rest on the branches
Black knots in a string of grey
They sing a song of sadness
Then they’re on their way
Wintersad
Wintersad
I don’t think that I’ve ever had the blues this bad
Wintersad
Wintersad
God has sent the cold to test me
All of my life I’ve waited
For someone to impress me
My spirit elevated by
A kind woman who’ll undress me
Some girls co-operated
’Til they danced on to others
Their hearts are dead and empty
How can they stand as lovers?
Wintersad
Wintersad
I don’t think that I’ve ever had the blues this bad
Wintersad
Wintersad
There is no one left to love me
All of your decorations
Boxed up beneath the stair
Some bright and some are broken
They will stay waiting there
A string of lights above me
Beneath me just a chair
I pray to god to guide me
Release me into the air
Wintersad
Wintersad
Won’t somebody try to stop me
Wintersad
Wintersad
Even god reneges on taking me to his hand

Simple Stupid Song
04:14
|
|||
So you’re sitting there at home
With an AM radio
And the oldies station on
So you’re not alone
You know you can’t compare
With the sounds out of thin air
And it really isn’t fair
That nobody seems to care
You’re turning 30
And you feel dirty
You’re wondering what you’ve done
To deserve me
You know it’s not your fault
But nonetheless you’re caught
In a well of deep despair
With someone who thinks he cares
I wrote this song
It’s pretty simple
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
Once I made you strong
Now I make you miserable
And I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
Please baby forgive me for all of my sins
I promise I’ll do better when I do them again
I never know what not to say
Always give it all away
So you’re laying in bed alone
Watching fresh fallen snow
With the ghosts of Christmas past
So you’re not alone
When will you find a way to live just for today
Not some future distant star
To shine on who you are
Not some future distant star
To shine on who you are
Not some future distant star
To shine on who you are
I wrote this song
It’s pretty stupid
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I know I was wrong
There I said it before you did
And I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
Please baby forgive me that’s all I can plead
And that’s the only present left that I still need
I never know what not to say
Always give it all away
