about

this is a cover of mccarthy trenching's beautiful song, "christmas song" off their album "calamity drenching" <3

lyrics

coming back from the country
full of good food and lousy beer
this winter's so dry
the dirt road's so dusty
at the lightest fall of rain
the bacteria bloom

you don't have to be alone to be lonesome
it's so easy to forget
the sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window
and it's christmas so no one can fix it

(isn't there anyone who knows what christmas is all about?
sure charlie brown, i'll tell you what christmas is all about.)

tethered to a table
with that happy holiday crowd
and it's anchors away
looks like smooth sailing
but the merest hint of waves could capsize you

you don't have to be alone to be lonesome
it's so easy to forget
the sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window
and it's christmas so no one can fix it

the desire for annihilation
is as common as it is unkind
and it's hard to recognize the situation
when you're desperately trying
to have a good time

you don't have to be alone to be lonesome
it's easy to forget
the sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window
and it's christmas so no one can fix it
yeah it's christmas
so no one can fix it
