LYRICS
Joys Of Christmas Remastered Version）-Chris Rea
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 <1510,-191,0>to go
Fathers of 23maybe 4what are they gonna do
Jimmy got a busted mouth in a fight last night
He says hes ok
Going down to the workies club 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 hes ok out of work and fighting
Is all hes ever known
And laughs and says I worry too much anyway
Joys of christmas
Joys of christmas
Northern style
Lets drink to the likes of jim
Before we all go insane
And please dont ask me why
Itll take too long to explain
Joys of christmas
