about

A Christmas Song for the times. I've been marinating a lot on Christmas as a time that's been pretty divisive for me personally, but I have to feel gratitude for the things that really matter.

Dedicated to Uncle Steve "Mr. Met" - Forever Missed, Never Forgotten

If the holidays are really bringing you down, call or text 988 for a helpline.

lyrics

V1

Strung out on a Christmas Day

Red Sunglasses on though the sky is grey

Rosy cheeks and a broken sleigh

And I can’t quite see straight

Got NOGGED on Christmas Eve

Spent quality time with the family

And oh hey look there’s uncle Steve

And he’s Passed out sleeping

Pre Chorus

A powder keg comes and makes it way

In the form of a political debate

And I’ll say

That it’s Christmas time again

Chorus:

Background singing

<> Joy to the world

Noel, Noel <>

<> Feliz Navidad

Happy New Year<>

V2

Time to unwrap the Christmas Gifts

Delivered two day express by “Old st nick”

And what you got, you already guessed

Cuz you gave me your list

Mom and dad near the mistletoe

They’re Not swapping spit because of their cell phones

it’s kind of strange just being home

When you’re fully grown

2nd Pre Chorus:

Kids screamin drivin me insane

feels like little elves are picking at my brain

And I Wish I still felt the same

Like a time when I felt more free

Standing tall and bright like a Christmas Tree

And I sing

{ }

<> Oh Christmas tree

Santa baby

Tis the Season

Fa la la la <>

V3.

Fresh socks and fresh underwear

The spirit of St Nick is Fricken Everywhere

New stuff yeah, but I don’t care

I just want to feel warmth in the frosty air

Future’s bleak, people can be mean

But you can’t stop giving, because that’s obscene

And what does Christmas really mean

For me it’s finding peace in the uncertainty of it ALLLLLL
