Наконец-то настал этот день! Я с самого начала флешмоба его ждала!Я зависла на этой песне с первого же прослушивания рождественского альбома Тома Смита и Энди Барроуза.
Это история одной ссоры, произошедшей аккурат на Рождество. И она рассказана настолько честно, настолько трогательно и настолько... красиво, так умеет только Том
Текст под кат прятать не буду, он слишком хорош.I ain't laughing
I didn't hear the joke anyway
I got my fingers on the window as the snow makes this a prison
Tomorrow will be Christmas Day
I took you drinking
to say the things that I needed to say
You drank me under the table like you always do and the radio just plays away
Those same old songs
Every single year
We drink, we sing, and I forget the things that I need you to hear
And we argue,
As the snow seals us in for the night
You say Santa Claus is coming, but I don't care what the song says
That's never gonna sound quite right
And this ain't New Jersey,
Father Christmas is comin' to town,
You throw you drink in my face, throw that look in my direction
And the radio plays on and on
Those same old songs,
Every single year
We drink, we sing, what a state we're in, but it's Christmas, my dear
And workmen quit the roads as the barman quits his tea,
He's praying that the storm will ease up over London
He knows he shouldn't drive, he'd be sleeping in his car
And that just ain't no good
The floorboards of the pub, they just buckle with our love,
Cause when we fight I love you more
Like your favourite film,
"It's a wonderful life", you've seen it a thousand times,
But you don't get bored
Eleven thirty, Christmas eve turning into Christmas day
I ask you how you're feeling,
You answer 'I'm aging',
I remember what I need to say
I'm Jimmy Stewart, in that film that you hold so dear,
I may have had a bit to drink, I may have done some dumb things,
But I'm glad the storm has trapped me here,
With you.
And workmen quit the roads as the barman quits his tea,
He's praying that the storm will ease up over London.
He knows he shouldn't drive, he'd be sleeping in his car
And that just ain't no good
The floorboards of the pub, they just buckle with our love,
Cause when we fight I love you more.
Like your favourite film,
"It's a wonderful life", you've seen it a thousand times,
But you don't get bored
And those same old songs, fill the air,
We drink, we sing, what a state we're in
Here's to another year
