    The title track of the Noah Vail Christmas CD which explores the familiar face of Christmas as well as the dark underbelly of the season. Nostradamus predicted that Elvis Costello will cover this song and revive a limping career. Just sayin', man.

    CD: Xmas Ad Nauseum

    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written shortly after making
    an Elvis Costello compilation for my daughter
    Amy...which may explain the lyrical tone.
    I'm talking about the Elvis Costello whose
    name precedes And The Attractions...not And Burt
    Bacharach.

    Lyrics
    Xmas Ad Nauseum

    Bind and gag them good
    And cart them all away
    Those fools who wish it could
    Be Christmas everyday oh-oh-oh
    Isn't it bad enough
    We have to live through it once a year?

    Take away their homes
    And make them live in caves
    Until those stupid gnomes
    Stop being Christmas slaves ho-ho-ho
    Haven't we had enough
    Of manufactured Yuletide cheer?

    And when the other stocking drops
    It will become painfully clear
    That if a season never stops
    It isn't ever really here

    Reprogram their brains
    The Clockwork Orange way
    Til no thought remains
    Concerning Christmas Day oh-oh-oh
    They've driven me mad enough
    My means are justified by my fears

    And when the other stocking drops
    It will become painfully clear
    That if a season never stops
    It isn't ever really here

    Bind and gag them good
    And cart them all away
    Those fools who wish it could
    Be Christmas everyday oh-oh-oh
    Isn't it bad enough
    We have to live through it once a year?

    Pity the man who never sees
    The forest for the Christmas trees
