about

Written when Brent was just 16, he's spent the last 20+ years trying to lay this one to rest, but family and friends just wouldn't let it go. So, in an attempt to quell their fascination with this cantankerous carol, the boys cut this track so they, and you, can listen when the mood strikes you.

lyrics

You Left Me For Christmas

I’ve got this messed up point of view.
It’s Christmas Eve and where the hell are you?
You left no number I could find,
And these holidays are driving me outta my mind.
This house reeks of “Christmas cheer”.
Eggnog and stale cigarettes, mixed with domestic beer.
If you were here then you could see,
Your’s truly passed out underneath the tree.

You fucking whore! You left for Christmas.
You fucking whore! You left me for Christmas.

Should’ve read the writing on the walls,
But I was too busy expecting that we’d be deckin’ the halls.
They say that when it rains, it pours.
And it’s really coming down outside my door.
Here’s some nuts for you to roast.
And wherever you are tonight, let me propose a toast.
This glass still has your lipstick stain.
And these slipping pills taste just like candy canes.

You fucking whore! You left for Christmas.
You fucking whore! You left me for Christmas.
