[00:00.00]Smith And Burrows - This Ain't New Jersey
[00:01.93]
[00:05.16]
[00:47.04]I ain't laughing
[00:49.80]I didn't hear the joke anyway.
[00:53.12]I got my fingers on the window as the snow makes this a prison
[00:58.41]Tomorrow will be Christmas Day.
[01:01.13]I took you drinking
[01:04.51]To say the things that I needed to say.
[01:08.31]You drank me under the table like you always do
[01:12.97]And the radio just plays away
[01:15.92]Those same old songs
[01:20.35]Every single year.
[01:24.17]We drink, we sing,
[01:26.03]and I forgete the things that I need you to hear
[01:32.90]
[01:33.89]And we argue,
[01:35.54]As the snow seals us in for the night.
[01:38.92]You say Santa锘 Claus is coming, but I don't care what the song says
[01:43.59]That's never gonna sound quite right.
[01:48.06]And this ain't New Jersey,
[01:50.47]Father Christmas is comin' to town,
[01:54.05]You throw your drink in my face, throw that look in my direction
[01:58.14]And the radio plays on and on
[02:00.93]
[02:01.34]Those same old songs,
[02:06.32]Every single year.
[02:09.61]We drink, we sing, what a state we're in, but it's Christmas, my dear.
[02:17.58]And workmen quit锘 the roads as the barman quits his tea,
[02:20.95]He's praying that the storm will ease up over London.
[02:25.09]He knows he shouldn't drive, he'd be sleeping in his car
[02:28.43]And that just ain't no good
[02:30.90]
[02:32.30]The floorboards of the pub, they just buckle with our love,
[02:36.15]Cause when we fight I love you more.
[02:38.04]Like your favorite film,
[02:40.14]It's a wonderful life, you've seen it a hundred times,
[02:43.78]But you don't get bored,
[02:45.98]you don't get bored, you don't get bored
[02:53.24]Eleven thirty, Christmas eve turning into Christmas day.
[02:59.40]I ask you how you're feeling,
[03:01.27]You answer 'I'm aging',
[03:02.98]I remember what I need to say
[03:05.88]
[03:06.82]I'm Jimmy Stewart, in that film that you hold so dear,
[03:14.06]I may have had a bit to drink,
[03:16.18]I may have done some dumb things,
[03:18.44]But I'm glad the storm has trapped me here,
[03:21.49]With you.
[03:24.08]
[03:52.31]And as workmen quit the roads, the barman quits his tea,
[03:56.38]He's praying that the storm will ease up over London.
[04:00.12]He knows he shouldn't drive, he'd be sleeping in his锘 car
[04:03.72]And that just ain't no good
[04:06.24]
[04:07.19]The floorboards of the pub, they锘 just buckle with our love,
[04:11.21]Cause when we fight I love you more.
[04:13.25]Like your favorite film,
[04:15.09]It's a wonderful life, you've seen it a thousand times,
[04:19.06]But you don't get bored,
[04:21.27]you don't get bored, no you don't get bored
[04:30.53]Still those same old songs, fill the air,
[04:38.51]We drink, we sing, what a state we're in.
[04:42.37]Here's to another year.
