murder city devils -- thelema

I originally had this as a 10" but sold it a few years ago because like most of their vinyl, mcd stuff was skyrocketing on ebay. I first saw them perform at the black kat with the explosion a few years back in DC. I saw them 2 years ago on their reunion tour where all of their vinyl has been resissue again on SUB POP. I picked it for 5 bucks as it has my favorite MCD song entitled 364 days. The song is about Santa Claus.



lyrics

n open letter to saint nicholas

Whiskey and cookies on the mantle
The children asleep wait for saint nick while they sleep we can drink
The tree is hung tribute to you and three hundred and sixty for days til I see you again
And a thousand more tears and a thousand more tears

Saint nicholas saint nicholas at the north pole 364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots pour a drink try not to cry try not to think

And you drink your eggnog and I'll drink my wine
Toast the season but just one more time
The morning is coming the whiskey is empty
The gifts have arrived saint nick has come and gone

Saint nicholas saint nicholas at the north pole 364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots pour a drink try not to cry try not to think

And it ends like it started the hugs and the kisses the bullshit flows the bullshit flows
You raise your bottle and I'll raise my flask toast christmas future and toast christmas past
And when they're all gone sit down in peace wait one more year and pour just one more drink

Saint nicholas saint nicholas at the north pole 364 days spent all alone
Take off your boots pour a drink try not to cry try not to think

Saint nicholas all alone
