a bitter christmas (live) - jane siberry lyrics

[spoken with piano accompaniment]
it was the night before christmas and all through the house
the children were excited hoping for snow
it looked like it would snow, but no no no
good, i’m glad

the next morning
father had set the alarm clock but it didn’t go off
so the whole household slept all the way through christmas day
good, i’m glad

and then they thought
“we’ll still open all our presents the day after christmas”
so they raced down the stairs
they flew down the stairs
they streamed down the stairs into the living room
and there, there * oh!
well, good, i’m glad

[spoken]
okay. so, as i looked for songs to do, before i decided * before the option of cancelling the show was concrete * i decided, um, i was looking–

i knew there were certain songs that would grow and reveal themselves to be the core of the show and i think we found a good collection of songs that to me is a good–

i think the worst thing to do is get up and sing songs about gratitude and happiness before you set the stage of needing to feel gratitude or happiness. otherwise it comes off as saccharine, or too sweet. and, and, and it makes people mad.
so, um, anyway i think we have a good balance. and some of the most beautiful songs i’ve heard. we’re doing some of the old hymns that you probably haven’t heard of. and, and also i have a fine, fine group of musicians playing with me who are joining forces with me to create this for you.
