Hives, The - A Christmas Duel Lyrics






[Pelle]
I bought no gifts this year
and I slept with your sister
I know I should have thought twice
Before I kissed her
But with the year we had last
And the dress that she wore
I just went along for the ride
And I came back for more

And I'm sorry baby.....

[Cyndi]
That's all ok honey cause see...

I bought no tree this year
And I slept with your brother
I wrecked your Daddy's car
And went down on your Mother.
I set your record collection on fire
And said I never knew
Felt kind of bad about that
And I know you did too

[pre chorus 1 (both)]
So whatever you say, it's all fine by me
Who the fuck anyway wants a Christmas tree
Cause the snow keeps on fallin' even though we were bad
It'll cover the filth, we should both just be glad

[Chorus 1 (both)]
And spend this Christmas together

[verse 2]
[Pelle]
I married you last year
Bet you thought I was sober, right?
But I was drunk as a skunk and I made a mistake
This could all have been over

[Cyndi]
Ah honey please don't
Excuse your behaviour
Cause I hired a hitman and changed your will
It's now all in my favour

[pre chorus 2 (both)]
So whatever you say, it's all fine by me
Who the fuck anyway wants a Christmas tree
Cause the snow keeps on fallin' even though we were bad
It'll cover the filth, we should both just be glad

[Chorus 2 (both)]
And spend this Christmas together
[repeats]

[Pelle]
Holding on without any reason
Cause something's strong this holiday season

[pre chorus 3 (both)]
So whatever you say, it's all fine by me
And who the fuck anyway wants a Christmas tree
Cause the snow keeps on fallin' even though we were bad
It'll cover the filth, we should both just be glad

[Chorus 3 (both)]
And spend this Christmas together
[repeats]

  1. S.... W....

    To the 78 curmudgeons who gave a thumbs down....someone must've went down on your mother!!!

  2. A.... M....

    I had an ad for a petition to not impeach Trump... Ya.. hell no. Not signing that bs. No one is above the law

    A.... M....

    who the fuck anyway, needs a Christmas tree...and wtf you talking about??

  3. T.... P....

    Listen to the live version with Anna Maria Espinosa. Favourite Christmas clip EVER.

    T.... P....

    Not nearly as good as Cyndi's vocals, but...she tried!

  4. D.... T....

    Go get em' Cyndi. 👍

  5. c.... ....

    The is the best Christmas song ever. Period. Cyndi was always so cute and fuckable and after hearing this I have a permanent boner for her.

  6. F.... L....

    Wtf this is hilarious. Cyndi’s powerhouse vocals.

  7. W.... N....

    Little Steven brought me here.

  8. n.... ....

    Despair is catchy.

  9. S.... C....

    He sounds a lot like Joey Ramone here.

  10. s.... m....

    If The Ramones and The Ronettes had a baby that cursed like a sailor, this song would be it.

  11. W.... B....

    Holy fuck this is awesome as shit!

  12. S.... W....

    THE BEST CHRISTMAS TUNE EVER!!

  16. M.... O....

    My favorite Christmas song

  17. S.... &....

    Fucking love it

  18. D.... ....

    And here I am again

  19. l.... l....

    I love this "xmas" song

  20. H.... H....

    Like, like!!!!!! Yes, I really love this song.

  21. S.... I....

    Nah, sod The Pogues, THIS is the best Christmas song ever!
    "I bought no tree this year
    And I slept with your brother
    I wrecked your Daddy's car
    And went down on your Mother."

  22. s.... B....

    LOVE IT!!

  23. L.... N....

    Awesome!

  24. s.... S....

    the BEST Christmas tune !!!

    s.... S....

    Agree. The best.

    s.... S....

    @Hahita Hahita Better than Ronan Keating singing Fairy Tale of New York? Surely not...

  25. G.... ....

    First time I´ve heard it and I love it (〃^▽^〃)

  26. P.... H....

    Still love this song. Not one for the family Christmas Day playlist 😂😂

  27. b.... ....

    And spend
    Spend
    Spend
    This
    Christ
    Christmas together!

  28. M.... R....

    All in all, a pretty weak composition, that's trying way too hard to be shocking. How old is Lauper? Isn't she like 63 now? I mean come on now, isn't she a bit long in the tooth & tit to try and pull off that rebellious & irreverent schtick?

    With all the edgy & hip 'talent' lefty artists supposedly have, for some reason they just can't seem to come up with material that pokes fun of that brutal islamist religion. Remember kids play it safe & pick on the Christian religion - 'cause they won't chop your head off.

    M.... R....

    Yeah, i mean, that's how language works.  If you don't have those inference skills, you're pretty deficient at language.  you knew exactly what i meant, you're just being petty because that's all you have left.  Then again, you never had anything else to begin with.

    M.... R....

    +iamawhore1 No that's not how 'language works'. Don't try to make excuses for your lazy writing style. Sounds like people have been cleaning up after you most of your life and you just expect everybody accommodate your shortcomings and make allowances because you're special. You end up looking like a dope, all because you couldn't tolerate somebody having a different opinion of that lame Lauper song.

    M.... R....

    Mike Rowegreshian wow you're really trying to make sense

    M.... R....

    When Cyndi Lauper sings, you automatically can HEAR her age in her voice? No. Go blow it out your ass.
    Btw, how does this song ridicule Christianity? It doesn't. I, myself, am a Conservative Christian, but yet, I can enjoy holiday music with a humorous quality.

    M.... R....

    Sounds like somebody got dumped.

  29. F.... N....

    Hives my old class buddies!!!

  30. m.... ....

    "Who the fuck anyway wants a christmas tree?" Awesome!

  31. t.... ....

    they slept with each other's sibling... horrible

    but great song...after 'fairytale of new york'

  32. v.... ....

    Maaaan, I had no idea this even existed! . 

  33. c.... l....

    love this lol

    c.... l....

    @chloe lawrance lol

    c.... l....

    Listen to it every Christmas : ) so great

  34. C.... L....

    This track is awesome! Although I can't NOT think of The Pogues "Fairytale of New York" as a source of inspiration for this. I'm sure Cyndi and the Hives are aware of it.

  35. J.... T....

    Finally the right time to listen to this again! Even though I've been listening to it all year...whoops.... But the hives are gods seriously all hail the hives. The hives are law you are crime.

  36. g.... y....

    una de mis favoritaz de cindyyyy.. 

  37. V.... C....

    Redditors coming in 3...2...1...

    V.... C....

    I tried to downvote that.

  38. M.... ....

    HOW DID THIS TRACK EVADE ME UNTIL NOW? So funny!!!

    M.... ....

    Literally just found it. Happy new year.

  39. j.... P....

    merry christmas!

  40. B.... B....

    was this an homage to kirsty macColl and the pogues "fairy tale of new york?"

  41. G.... L....

    funny and nice:)

  42. P.... ....

    my new favorite Christmas song

  43. H.... A....

    I'm twelve and I can the whole lyrics ._.

  44. M.... A....

    Bäst bäst bäst!

    M.... A....

    Ja det är verkligen bästa jullåten! :D

    M.... A....

    Bara så bra.

  45. S.... V....

    <3 cyndi

  46. D.... ....

    Listen to this every year now!

  47. a.... ....

    It is classic - the song had 350,000 views after one year - you would have thought it would done better - this song is so underrated - not a record promoter.

  48. W.... L....

    Aaah... finally I can listen to this amazing song again! Jay, christmasspirit :]

  49. a.... ....

    Anti-Lauper Hives fans - well they are so anti-Lauper - they miss out on the fact that - this is a great Hives songs that features Cyndi. I love this song !

    a.... ....

    Any anti-Lauper Hives fans are not true The Hives fans. And no, I don't care if I'm gatekeeping.

    a.... ....

    Anyone who is that Anti -Lauper does not deserve to hear this gem!

  50. v.... ....

    this song has the christmas spirit

  51. j.... ....

    The hives are great but I'm not a fan of Cindy Lauper
    But she is still a great singer

  52. T.... M....

    Happy Christmas !!!! :D

  53. B.... ....

    By far my favourite Christmas song!

  54. S.... ....

    Finally, it's the right time of year to listen to this again!

  55. M.... ....

    This songs good,but I wish the hives made a christmas song which is more their own style.

  56. d.... ....

    This abso-fucking-lutely rules!

  57. A.... D....

    lolololoo congratulation!

  58. T.... ....

    I don't recognize the person advertised in the background of the video screen area. :/ short brown-ish hair? sue me, I am probably being stupid again. XD

  59. f.... ....

    This is too good to be reserved for christmas so I listen to it the year around :s

  60. s.... ....

    the singer from the hives sounds pretty different here! and its a good contrast against cyndies voice

  61. J.... B....

    ahh christmas =] ...... and went down on your mother? how jolly

  62. x.... ....

    They should do a whole christmas album together!

  63. M.... L....

    I love that this song is so far from classic xmas songs! love these different kinds, more original ones! good stuff

  64. c.... ....

    "And I slept with your brother" - Nicholaus?! O.O

  65. d.... ....

    Almost as good as The Most Offensive Song Ever, from Mister Hankey's Christmas Classics.

  66. C.... C....

  75. L.... ....
