Wintering

Lyrics

Yeah, it's just like– it should start
 It just– it should just come straight in
 And just be like
 She walks down the stairs, feeling herself
 Lookin' like she just won a court case
 He's got a funny way of using the same four chords for every song he makes
 And he's called Bill and he plays with words like a skill
 Yeah, he's pretty great
 He said his official friend died 'cause of a fish he ate
 Yeah, she's called Hannah and she plays the Joanna
 Grade eight but she's got no soul
 John's obsessed with fat ass and he's ten years old
 Oh, Dad's an Otis Redding at a wedding type guy
 With the best voice you ever heard
 He said, "Give me a date I can work on, my heart hurts"
 I get home on the 23rd
 I drive up on the 23rd
 And I bumped into Julie in the co-op
 She asked how the family's been
 I said, "Alex is a sculptor and Olivia's been a vegan since ten
 While Vin wears dresses while Debbie coalesces
 In a fleece that doesn't work
 And I'll be givin' my chair to my mum 'cause her back hurts"
 I get home on the 23rd (yeah, the snare rim sounds good)
 Yeah, I drive up on the 23rd (yeah, yeah)
 Now Mum's not a fan of that line about her back
 She said it makes her sound frumpy and old
 I said, "Woman, you are 64 years old"
 Now stop the percussion, I wanna have a discussion
 And it's Christmas so this is gonna be a nightmare
 I just came for the stuffin', not to argue 'bout nothin' but mark my words
 I'll be home on the 23rd (yeah, the snare rim sounds good)
 Yeah, I drive up on the 23rd
 Oh, I come home on the 23rd (yeah)
 
 Yeah, it's just like– it should start
 It just– it should just come straight in
 And just be like
 She walks down the stairs, feeling herself
 Lookin' like she just won a court case
 He's got a funny way of using the same four chords for every song he makes
 And he's called Bill and he plays with words like a skill
 Yeah, he's pretty great
 He said his official friend died 'cause of a fish he ate
 Yeah, she's called Hannah and she plays the Joanna
 Grade eight but she's got no soul
 John's obsessed with fat ass and he's ten years old
 Oh, Dad's an Otis Redding at a wedding type guy
 With the best voice you ever heard
 He said, "Give me a date I can work on, my heart hurts"
 I get home on the 23rd
 I drive up on the 23rd
 And I bumped into Julie in the co-op
 She asked how the family's been
 I said, "Alex is a sculptor and Olivia's been a vegan since ten
 While Vin wears dresses while Debbie coalesces

 Yeah, I drive up on the 23rd
 Oh, I come home on the 23rd (yeah)
