about

Here's a Christmas gift for you, a song we wrote and recorded a while back that was released on sexy red vinyl by Sympathy for the Record Industry. Your mission, should you decide you like the tune, is to "buy" it for $0.00, which will make us happy. And if you need a stocking stuffer (even if it's your own stocking), click on the "merch" button above and you can purchase one of the few remaining vinyl copies. Merry Christmas, please!

lyrics

Christmas Time
Christmas Time
Time to think of you
I held my breath waiting for your card
Until I turned all blue
I got you a present
It's out in the car, but I don't know where you are
And now it's Christmas time
Christmas time
The happiest time of the year

Christmas tree
Christmas tree
Gives a lovely light
Over by the sofa where I said "Me too"
One unholy night
Away in a manger is where I'd rather be
So I don't have to see
That stupid Christmas tree
Christmas tree
The prettiest sight in the world

Christmas Day
Christmas Day
Pass the cup of cheer
If I can make it through just one more week
I'll have a whole new year
And my resolution will be to move to Iran
Where they don't give a damn about
Christmas time
Christmas time
The happiest time of the year

Christmas time
Christmas time
The happiest time of the year
