Joys Of Christmas |
|
I see all the tough guys still not 25 |
|
Dying on their feet |
|
Coughing, honking, cadging cigarettes |
|
And still out on the street |
|
Well, they got no money, nowhere to go |
|
Fathers of 2, 3 maybe 4, what are they gonna do |
|
Jimmy got a busted mouth in a fight last night |
|
He says he's ok |
|
Going down to the workies club (that's a laugh) |
|
To buy something strong and take the pain away |
|
Joys of christmas |
|
Joys of christmas |
|
Northern style |
|
Flashing christmas light of police blue |
|
Go spinning down the street |
|
Women try to drag the men from pubs |
|
Into the stores |
|
And work hands in empty pockets deep |
|
We stand outside the neon ice and wish ourselves the best |
|
He says he's ok, out of work and fighting |
|
Is all he's ever known |
|
And laughs and says i worry too much anyway |
|
Joys of christmas |
|
Joys of christmas |
|
Northern style |
|
Let's drink to the likes of jim |
|
Before we all go insane |
|
And please don't ask me why |
|
It'll take too long to explain |
|
Joys of christmas |
