Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, as covered by The Mountain Goats

A pretty great blog I follow just reminded me of this jem

Take note of then he sings ‘through the years, we all will be together’, and then turns to the person on the floor next to him and says ‘in the grave, that’s where we’ll all actually be together, in the grave’

I swear to christ

I can’t even handle watching this. It feels like he is staring into my soul and can see all the horrible parts of me.

I don’t know if I am trying not to scream or laugh…

When the villagers come to my door
I will hide underneath the table in the dining room
Knees drawn to my chest

When the villagers come to my door
I will breathe shallow breaths from high up in my stomach
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Waiting for the front door to splinter
Waiting all winter

When the villagers come to my door
I’ll be all tucked away with my face to the floor
And my eyes closed

And no one knows how to keep secrets ‘round here
They tell everyone everything soon as they know
And then where is there left for poor sinners to go?

Waiting for the front door to splinter
Waiting all winter

464. Wrong!

It’s catchy, ok. And who hasn’t had someone at whom, at some point, they wanted to scream “You don’t do anything!”

The Mountain Goats – Alphabetizing

AND THOUGH IT’S VERY TRUE THAT I LOVE EVERYONE 

WITH EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY LEFT IN ME,

I LOVE YOU ESPECIALLY

Pure Love

Hey, what’s wrong with you?
Hey, what are you trying to do?
Because if what you had in mind
Is what I think it is, then it’s not very kind
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now

Hey, what are you doing my love?
Hey, didn’t I just tell you that such a thing would be over and above
What’s called for in this case?
Pull the ski mask away from your face
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now
It won’t be necessary
It won’t be necessary now

from Songs for Petronius (1992)
