about
The holiday season isn't always about happy families and festive celebrations. While maintaining a lively and uplifting tone, "Christmas Bush" explores the experience of being in a snow-free Los Angeles, surrounded by people yet feeling a lack of love. In the heart of Hollywood, our narrator considers having another drink to cope with the holidays and thinks about a little gift that would be all it would take to make the season bright.
lyrics
Christmas Bush
LA gets cold early
I miss my friends, miss my girlie
Without the snow I know the season’s not the same
I want a hat, scarf and mittens
I won’t get that or a kitten
I can feel this year is gonna turn out lame
I don’t need a big ol’ tree
There aren’t so many presents for me
I’ll be happy with a small one
For all of my holiday fun, yeah
I just need a little Christmas Bush
I just need a little Christmas Bush
I watch the palm trees swaying
As mariachis are playing
A bunch of songs that I don’t really want to hear
Lights are up and people are shopping
I stumble ‘round out bar hopping
I think I need another shot and a beer
I don’t need a big ol’ tree
There aren’t so many presents for me
I’ll be happy with a small one
For all of my holiday fun, yeah
I just need a little Christmas Bush
I just need a little Christmas Bush
I don’t need a big ol’ tree
There aren’t so many presents for me
I’ll be happy with a small one
For all of my holiday fun, yeah
I just need a little Christmas Bush
I just need a little Christmas Bush
Won’t you give me a little Christmas bush
