when i was in college i wrote
an anti-christmas song
with my friend peter gross
i thought i was pretty clever back then
peter went on to be a comic book
artist
i'm still playin the blues
insofar as it will
probably never be published
and will never reap anything like royalties
i thought perhaps i might just publish one verse here
to give people a sense of my early forays
into difficult and contrary attitudes in
artistic expression
winter is coming there's a nip (hello tokyo)in the air
christmas songs are playin and i don't care
you know i got them apathetic christmas blues
o i hate you and you hate me
so let's burn down that christmas tree
you know i gots them
weary christmas blues
santa's on the corner with a kid in his lap
santa just found out that he's got the clap
well i got those syphiletic christmas blues
well i hate you and you hate me
so let's burn down that christmas tree
o i gots them weary christmas blues

i like
in a perverse sort of way
the refrain is pretty catchy
i feel like i may have
heard you play this
merry bluesy christmas
it's interesting at least to some degree to recognise
that one outgrows old themes and styles :-)
i may have written just written
the best love song of the century
WV orync
yep
i concur
i've got it
and mary's waltz
running through my head
and heart
happy new year
may His face shine upon you
thanks for the days together
