had the immense pleasure of catching these guys earlier this year in Melbourne - saw them at the Odessa in Daylesford and then I took my partner along to see them the next day at the Northcote Social Club - their performances were stellar - fingers crossed they return to our shores................... go see them on yours
Absolutely stunning! best Christmas song ever in my opinion. First heard this track last year from a session recorded for BBC6 Music, and now delighted to have the just released 7 inch single which curiously spins at 33rpm. Delines, please come back to the UK soon.
Can anyone help with the lyrics? Esp the end section? Christmas In Atlantis - The Delines We got out of the taxi Hearing Little Drummer Boy We're Half tight and dressed to the nines when we open up the door First thing we see is your uncle In his tidy whities Screaming at the TV Because the Broncos are losing And won't even make the spread In the kitchen is the beer And the ordeuves and the Gin Fizz And your mom's still hitting on my dad But now my mom wants to join in Your nephew is in the basement Playing Grand Theft Auto on Christmas Day And your niece starts showing me pictures of her naked in that triple X way says there's no point in college With all the money she makes Just put a down payment on a 5-year-old Hyundai With 180,000 miles and needs new brakes Oh let's go, let's go, let's get out here Your uncle gets dressed And starts talking about the merits of the KKK And how fascism is misunderstood And sometimes you need a dad To keep you in your place A fist fight breaks out Between your mom and your aunt Over who's going to inherit your mother's jewelry And her tiffany lamps Hair being pulled and punches thrown Until your coked out sister comes to the door Making out with her teacher from the sixth grade In the corner staring at the Virgin Mary Your grandmother says it was all a mistake The man she really really wanted to marry And have kids with Got sent to Vietnam and was blown away And then my uncle comes to the house in the middle of dinner Takes off his shirt And shows a back tattoo of a half dragon, half car With a naked girl on the hood Your nephew needs to score But there's too much snow for his moped To make it down the street He begs your grandmother to take him But she had her license taken away last week And when they start talking about UFOs We make our getaway To the Atlantis Casino, for three more days Oh let's go, let's go, let's get out of here Christmas in Atlantis Watching mermaids walking by Carrying drinks and cheese stockings and pie Christmas in Atlantis in we come for on the stage Coco Cinnamon playing the hits the that away Christmas in Atlantis is watching mermaids walking by Carrying drinks and cheese, stockings and pie Christmas in Atlantis

I dunno. Why does the domestic scenario have to be so desperate? And how can a casino be regarded as some kind of panacea? Willy, I've been a fan for almost 20 years, but this is getting close to self-caricature
Phew! Just what the doctor ordered😃. Another X-mas basher going for all the low hanging fruit and cliche’s possible😅👏👏👏. Of course, the song’s omniscient narrator is above it all and strings a series of exaggerations upon hyperbole to justify their own decision to escape to a numbing under water (alcohol?) utopia called the Atlantis casino. Hipster smug in excelsis. 🍸😎 What are they doing to make society better is my question…

Christmas In Atlantis - The Delines
We got out of the taxi
Hearing Little Drummer Boy
We're Half tight and dressed to the nines
when we open up the door
First thing we see is your uncle
In his tidy whities
Screaming at the TV
Because the Broncos are losing
And won't even make the spread
In the kitchen is the beer
And the ordeuves and the Gin Fizz
And your mom's still hitting on my dad
But now my mom wants to join in
Your nephew is in the basement
Playing Grand Theft Auto on Christmas Day
And your niece starts showing me
pictures of her naked in that triple X way
says there's no point in college
With all the money she makes
Just put a down payment on a 5-year-old Hyundai
With 180,000 miles and needs new brakes
Oh let's go, let's go, let's get out here
Your uncle gets dressed
And starts talking about the merits of the KKK
And how fascism is misunderstood
And sometimes you need a dad
To keep you in your place
A fist fight breaks out
Between your mom and your aunt
Over who's going to inherit your mother's jewelry
And her tiffany lamps
Hair being pulled and punches thrown
Until your coked out sister comes to the door
Making out with her teacher from the sixth grade
In the corner staring at the Virgin Mary
Your grandmother says it was all a mistake
The man she really really wanted to marry
And have kids with
Got sent to Vietnam and was blown away
And then my uncle comes to the house
in the middle of dinner
Takes off his shirt
And shows a back tattoo of a half dragon, half car
With a naked girl on the hood
Your nephew needs to score
But there's too much snow for his moped
To make it down the street
He begs your grandmother to take him
But she had her license taken away last week
And when they start talking about UFOs
We make our getaway
To the Atlantis Casino, for three more days
Oh let's go, let's go, let's get out of here
Christmas in Atlantis
Watching mermaids walking by
Carrying drinks and cheese stockings and pie
Christmas in Atlantis
in we come for on the stage
Coco Cinnamon playing the hits
the that away
Christmas in Atlantis is watching mermaids walking by
Carrying drinks and cheese, stockings and pie
Christmas in Atlantis
CHRISTMAS IN ATLANTIS

What are they doing to make society better is my question…
Here's an idea... don't like it? Don't listen. Surely YOUR generation understands that concept.
