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 |
