Joys of Christmas

I see all the tough guys still not 25
我看到這些不到25歲的人們
Dying on their feet
卻奄奄一息地
Coughing, honking, cadging cigarettes
游弋在大街上
And still out on the street
一邊咳嗽著，一邊嘶啞著嗓子求煙抽

Well, they got no money, nowhere to go
他們沒錢沒地方住
Fathers of 2, 3, maybe 4, what are they gonna do
可能是幾個孩子的父親他們能幹什麼呢
Jimmy got a busted mouth in a fight last night
Jimmy昨天和人打架被撕破了嘴
He says he's okay
他說沒事
Going down to the workies club
去了夜總會
(That's a laugh)
（真搞笑）
To buy something strong and take the pain awa
買了點兒帶勁的東西來緩解疼痛

Flashing Christmas light of police blue
聖誕的藍色警燈
Go spinning down the street
在街區中眩目
Women try to drag the men from pubs
女人們想把男人從酒館
Into the stores
拖到商場
And work hands in empty pockets deep
掏空他們本就見底的口袋

We stand outside the neon ice and wish ourselves the best
我們站在霓虹燈下祈禱美好的明天
He says he's okay, out of work and fighting
他說沒事
Is all he's ever known
這傢伙只知道閒著和打架
And laughs and says I worry too much anyway
還笑我的擔心太多餘

Before we all go insane
在我們瘋了之前
Let's drink to the likes of Jim
為Jim的愛好乾杯
And please don't ask me why
別問我為什麼
It'll take too long to explain
我懶得解釋

Joys of Christmas
聖誕一樂
