Harvey Danger - Sometimes You Have To Work On Christmas Lyrics
A studio apartment in a dull part of seattleA strand of light suspended by a thumbtack in the drywallThe restaurants are closedSo are the record shops, the banks, and bars, and bartel drugs,And so's the half price bookstoreBut the movies are always openAnd i always have to openA repertory movie houseWell life is not so wonderfulFor 15 soggy patrons who have no better place to beNot to mention meI'm working for a holiday wageMy family is two time zones away,I'm supposed to call themMy vodka and snow is meltingThe alcohol isn't helpingSometimes you have to work on christmas, sometimesYou have to work on christmas, sometimesYou gotta work on christmas,I doubt i'll miss thisThere's an artificial tree blinking in the lobby,Sitting on the coffee table, yeaStrangers and spare changers stand in line like poor relationsAt some kind of sad reunionAnd i'm selling the ticketsThey come in out of the weatherFor christmas alone togetherSometimes you have to work on christmas, sometimesYou have to work on christmas, sometimesYou have to work on christmas,I doubt i'll miss this next yearSometimes you have to work on christmas, sometimesYou gotta work on christmas, sometimesYou have to work on christmas,I doubt i'll miss this at all
