Lucy Spraggan - Drink 'Til We Go Home Lyrics

It's the twenty-fourth night and it's twenty past nine
There's a band on the stage by the bar
There's some bloke shouting "cheers" and they're spilling their beers
I don't care 'cause it's here where we are
And they start their set with "Fairy Tale of New York"
Sounds as beautiful as you look

And my only wish this Christmas is to walk home in the snow
And to drink 'til we go home

(Drink 'til we go home)

It's getting late and we're starting to sway
We're watching the families leave
They're forming the line as they're saying goodbye
And it's all spilling onto the street
When the curtains close, the ashtrays come out
And the doors are bolted, the cold can stay out

And my only wish this Christmas is to walk home in the snow
And to drink 'til we go home

(Drink 'til we go home)

There's tinsel wrapped round you, you're dancing to Slade
And the place is lit up green and red
There's a tree on it's side and I'm drinking more wine
And it's already gone to my head
When the fine melodious bell starts ringing
Grab a strangers hand and don't stop singing

'Cause my only wish this Christmas is to walk home in the snow
And to drink 'til we go home
Drink 'til we go home
Drink 'til we go home
Drink 'til we go home
Drink 'til we go home

Well the barman's had enough
So we're walking hand in hand
Not a single snowflake on the ground
Well all I really wish for is to be with you anyway
And to drink 'til we go home
Drink 'til we go home
Drink 'til we go home
Drink 'til we go home
Drink 'til we go home
