Sometime You Have To WOrk On Christmas lyrics

Artist  : Harvey Danger 
Song : Sometime You Have To WOrk On Christmas
 


A studio apartment in a dull part of Seattle
A
strand of light suspended by a thumbtack in the
drywall
The restaurants are closed
So are
the record shops, the banks, and bars, and Bartel
drugs,
and so’s the half price
bookstore
But the movies are always
open
And I always have to open
A repertory
movie house
Well life is not so
wonderful
For 15 soggy patrons who have no
better place to be
Not to mention me
I’m
working for a holiday wage
My family is two
time zones away,
I’m supposed to call
them
My vodka and snow is melting
The
alcohol isn’t helping
Sometimes you have to
work on Christmas, sometimes
You have to work
on Christmas, sometimes
You gotta work on
Christmas,
I doubt I’ll miss
this
There’s an artificial tree blinking in
the lobby,
Sitting on the coffee table,
yea
Strangers and spare changers stand in line
like poor relations
At some kind of sad
reunion
And I’m selling the tickets
They
come in out of the weather
For Christmas alone
together
Sometimes you have to work on
Christmas, sometimes
You have to work on
Christmas, sometimes
You have to work on
Christmas,
I doubt I’ll miss this next
year
Sometimes you have to work on Christmas,
sometimes
You gotta work on Christmas,
sometimes
You have to work on Christmas,
I
doubt I’ll miss this at all
