Yule Shoot Your Eye Out Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These are your good years
Don't take my advice
You never wanted the nice boys, anyway
And I'm of good cheer
'Cause I've been checking my list

The gifts you're receiving from me will be

[Pre-Chorus]
One awkward silence
And two hopes you cry yourself to sleep

Staying up, waiting by the phone
And all I want this year's
For you to dedicate your last breath to me
Before you bury yourself alive


[Chorus]
Don't come home for Christmas
You're the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree
Merry Christmas, I could care less

[Verse 2]
Happy New Years, baby
You owe me the best gift I will ever ask for
Don't call me up when the snow comes down
It's the only thing I want this year
[Pre-Chorus]
One awkward silence
And two hopes you cry yourself to sleep
Staying up, waiting by the phone
And all I want this year
For you to dedicate your last breath to me
Before you bury yourself alive


[Chorus]
Don't come home for Christmas
You're the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree
Merry Christmas, I could care less

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Don't come home for Christmas
You're the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree (Don't come home for Christmas)
Merry Christmas, I could care less

Don't come home for Christmas
You're the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree (Don't come home for Christmas)
Merry Christmas, I could care less

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The title comes from the 1983 movie A Christmas Story, in which a 9-year-old boy wants a BB gun for Christmas, but when he asks his mother she tells him, “No, you’ll shoot your eye out”.

“Yule” replacing “You’ll” in the title is a play on words, Yule being generally known as Christmas.
