The Worst Christmas Ever

Joyeux Noël !
(ou pas)


Going outside, shoveling snow in the driveway,
Taking our shoes, riding a sled down the hillside
Can you say what you want?
Can you say what you want to be?
Can you be what you want?
Can you be what you want?

Our father yells, throwing gifts in the wood stove
My sister runs away, taking her books to the schoolyard,
In time the snow will rise
In time the snow will rise
In time the Lord will rise
In time the Lord will rise

Silent night
Holy night
Silent night
Nothing feels right

  1. Since it's Christmas, let's be glad
    Even if your life's been bad
    There are presents to be had

    Take a walk out in the snow
    And hear Santa's "Ho ho ho!"
    He's got a million miles to go

    La la la la la la ah

    Sing a carol to your mom
    'Cause she knows what's going on
    And she knows if you've been bad or good

    And if you get what you deserve
    To be graded on the curve
    Oh, you got a lot of nerve

    La la la la la la ah

    Since the year is almost out
    Lift your hands and give a shout
    There's a lot to shout about today

    Since it's Christmas, let's be glad
    Even if the year's been bad
    There are presents to be had
    A promotion for your dad
    Don't be angry, don't be bad

    Sufjan Stevens, It's Christmas! let's be glad!

  2. Nice..! Tu pourrais être co-rédactrice ;o)
    Musicalement, c'est celle que j'ai publiée que je préfère, mais les paroles de celle-ci sont un peu plus lumineuses, en effet.

    Joyeux Noël!!

    (Par contre, il va bien falloir plomber l'ambiance demain, lorsque je publierai un post à la mémoire de Vic Chesnutt)
