The cattle are lowin'
Are we're eating beef
And we turned off the TV
And that's a relief

And we're countin' our blessings
And prayin' for more
Christmas in Crawford, 2004

Now we're pettin' our puppies
And clearin' the trees
And we're ridin' and ropin'
And droppin' our "g's"

And the world on the outside
Is hard to ignore
(But we manage)
Christmas in Crawford, 2004

And all is calm
All is bright
So pound the piano
And sing "Silent Night"
The lights are a-blazin'
And loved ones are near
And bad things don't happen
In my hemisphere

So pass me a pretzel
And, "Hey, what's the score?"
Christmas in Crawford, 2004

And all are calm
And some are bright
And days are merry and airy and white
And I'm proud of my country
Where I gotta right
To sleep in Heavenly Peace
The world's full of people
Who aren't so well blessed
We say "Let 'em eat fruitcake
And God Bless the West"

And it's two weeks vacation
Then back to the war
Christmas in Crawford, 2004

And we clear the table
Like a wave clears the shore
Christmas in Crawford, 2004

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
