A seasonal tribute to Lou Reed. Recorded on my phone. My first playthrough of this song so it's very, very rough.
I HATE DECEMBER
I hate December
All that glitz and jolliness makes me physically queasy
All I remember
Is when my dad had gone for good that year
Then my grandparents slowly disappeared
And I try to say thank you but you know it wasn’t easy
I hate December
All the rituals where they force you to take part
I get sore and.. tender
You think you finally get to breathe for a while
But heaven help you if you don’t smile
Heaven help you if you break their heart
But then I look in your eyes
How they glow
As you bleed and cry to make it all be true
I look in your eyes
At your fire and I know
I hate december
But I love you
I hate December
And the day at that lovely institution
At least it didn’t end there
and my mother and brother drinking all alone
Was a temporary measure, just a stepping stone
Not really a solution
I hate December
I just think about how happy I must have been back then
But I don’t remember
I just miss David Bowie and Lou Reed
Let’s give all our shit to Children in need
And try to all feel like children again
Cause then I look in your eyes
How they glow
As you bleed and cry to make it all be true
I look in your eyes
At your fire and I know
I hate december
But I love you
