about

Vocals by Millie Gaum
Guitar by Kelly D

Derek loves the track and just desperately wanted to synthpop it. So he did. With the aid of Millie. Yes we put a version of it out last year but it didn't sound quite as good and didn't have Kelly on guitar.

lyrics

Bah Humbug no that's too strong for it is my favourite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush just cause it's the season
The perfect gift for me would be completions and connections left from
Last year ski shop encounter most interesting
Had his number but never the time
Most of 21 passed along those lines
So deck those halls and trim those trees
Raise up cups of christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath, christmas by myself this year.

Calendar picture frozen landscape chilled this room for 24 days
Ever greens sparkling snow - get this winter over with flash back to
Spring time saw him again would have been great to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free we tried we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't of course 'till summertimeOut to the beach to his boat
Could I join him? No This time it was me Sunburn in the third degree
and now the calendar's just one page of course I am excited
Tonight's the night I've set my mind not to do too much about it.

Mery Christmas Merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year

Hardly dashing through the snow cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have to dos - a few cars, few calls because it's
RSVP no thanks no party lights, christmas eve gonna relax - turned down all of my invites!
Last fall had a night to myself same guy called halloween party
Waited all night for him to show - this time his car wouldn't go
Forget it I'm cold it's getting late trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way unwind doing christmas right this time

Aldi has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven nice and hot OH DAMN guess what I forgot
So on with the boots back out in the snow to the only all night grocery
When what in front of my wandering eyes should appear in the line it's that guy I've been chasing all year
"Spending this one alone " he said "Gimme a break this year's been crazy"
I Said me too but why are you? you mean you forgot the cranberries too!
Suddenly we laughed and laughed caught on to what was happening
That christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending
