Fired In Christmas Lyrics - Singles - Secret Army

Walking down the blinking lights 

It's kinda cold today 

Well, around here it never snows but it's Christmas time again 

I go downtown to see my mates tonight I'm gonna get drunk 

It was my last day at job cause I've been fired in Christmas 

The boss took me to his office and he told me here it goes son 

The company has been sold and half the lot have to go 

So here I am with a check in my hand going down the bar 

With a silly smile on my face, I'm gonna get drunk tonight 

I step into the bar all my mates are there, everybody's happy and drunk 

I order a beer, then two, then three and I start to feel alright 

One our later I'm drunk as hell, we toast to crappy jobs 

Happy fucking Christmas to everyone we are gonna burn this city tonight 

And the girl at the front catches my eye 

I ask her for a kiss and she gives me a smack 

And all around me everybody smiles 

Alcohol has taken me to the promised land 

Tomorrow I'll wake up alone again 

With hammers striking my head 

Life is just a cruel joke 

Boy you gotta get a new job 

Oh, yeah...I've been fired in Christmas
