Description
A moody, darkly witty Christmas tune about being out-of-synch with holiday festivities. The sweet bass riff and lifted bits from "Angels We Have Heard On High", plus the bare-bones production, make this another wonderful vonHummer classic.
Lyrics
"Knee-Deep in the Yuletide" [vonHummer] Knee-deep in the yuletide/is a fine time/to wonder what's wrong with me/Why it's so hard for me to see/the tinsel for the ornamentality/and whether 'tis nobler/to wrap or unwrap a gift/or suffer some small talk/for a massive turkey dinner/December 25th?/ This season of giving/makes living on my own/look like foolish pride/with the dearth on my hearth of a thousand cards/Knee-deep, knee-deep, knee-deep/in the yuletide... Knee-deep in the yuletide/Wet Christmas/Where'd the white one go?/Little lights wink everywhere/Angel-topped trees/peep from passed windows/ City sits silent/I couldn't feel more alone/Like a dog in the manger/throw me a/frickin' bone/ No, Scrooge wasn't happy/but that doesn't mean/that he wasn't right/Shouting "Humbug!" bugs the snug in their rugs/Knee-deep, knee-deep, knee-deep/in the yuletide...
