a christmas dirge - nellie mckay lyrics

Loading...

christmastime may always be the saddest time of year
but if misery loves company, let’s play at solitare
if you’ve any thought to our forgotten dream
here’s a swallowed prayer, and not*so*silent scream

please don’t chop another christmas tree
please just let her live, and let her breathe
spare the little flower
as you didn’t spare my heart
tend each thirsty flower
don’t tear her apart
plеase don’t axe another еvergreen
please don’t make that cut, however clean
bless each fragrant nettle
and how happy she will be
cradle every blossom
and kiss them for me

please don’t slice another christmas fir
please don’t kick another to the curb
put away the hogshead
and the fetish for the flesh
death is no requirement
for your happiness

please don’t k!ll another living thing
please don’t sap her veins, but let them sing
don’t tether her branches to the chair or kitchenette
whether our romance is a thrill or regret

please don’t squeeze another christmas clown
just to built her up and break her down
please don’t slowly starve her
whilst the party rages on
i know what it feels like
to shiver in the sun
please don’t chop another christmas tree
every wild soul craves liberty
cherish every being
any species, any size
i’m a weeping willow
yet i still empathize

so though you’ve got your life and family
though you’ve chosen, and it wasn’t me
though my future’s decked in misery
oh, please, oh, please
don’t
chop
that
christmas
tree

merry christmas, everybody!
