I can’t help but feeling jealous / each time she climbs on his knee. / Why must she climb on his knee?
Lincoln, track 12: Santa’s Beard (Listen on iTunes)
Here’s the second act of the ‘broken romance’ cycle I’ve mentioned before (beginning with I’ve Got a Match, and ending with They’ll Need a Crane). Here Gal is confiding in the friend dressed as Santa, and the not-completely-clueless Lad misconstrues her attachment as romantic in nature. Santa, it seems, doesn’t know what to make of it.
