Rudy 歌詞

Rudy - The Holiday Place/The Be Good Tanyas

Rudy lives on the borderline

Between civilization and basic survival

And the summertime treats him

Fairly well

But the wintertime

Is a dirty cold rival

It's wintertime now in Georgetown

 

The streets come alive with the Christmas light

And Rudy sleeps on a warm air grate

With a newspaper blanket on December nights

 

Deck the halls

Rudolph the red nosed wino knows it's Christmas time

 

Jingle bells and Christmas shoppers

Dashing through the snow

 

God rest ye Merry gentlemen

Who've found it in your hearts

To flip rudy a thin

And I'll be home for Christmas

But this man has no place to go

 

Christmas has a meaning at all

 

The people of greed and incredible waste

They seek the deeper meaning in the shopping mall

In a yuletide spirit of impatience and hate

 

Rudy is a patient man

 

Who tries to see the beauty in everything

Yes and not a very demanding soul

 

Whose only wish is to live until the spring

 

Nobody knows the reasons why

 

Things turn out like the way they do

And there ain't no one to tell you

The reasons why

There's fortunate folks like me and you

 

Rudy must have people somewhere

Who wonder what became of the man

And Rudy must wonder The same d**n thing

As the crowd passes by

And he sticks out his hand

 

Deck the halls

Rudolph the red nosed wino knows

It's Christmas time

 

Jingle Bells in the Christmas shop

Others dashing through the snow

 

God rest ye Merry gentlemen

 

Who have found it in your hearts

To flip rudy a thin

And I'll be home for Christmas

But this man has no place to go

 

Rudy died on the borderline

 

Of a civilized world on Christmas eve

You know the shoppers shopped

And the temperatures dropped

On a man whose absence

Won't be grieved

 

Peace on the soul of the cop

Who found

Him booth

With his hand frozen to a telephone

You know I think I know

Who he had on the line

And rudy won't spend this Christmas alone

 

Deck the halls

 

Rudolph the red nosed wino knows

It's Christmas time

 

Jingle Bells in the Christmas hop

 

Dashing through the snow

 

God rest ye Merry gentlemen

 

Who have found it in your hearts

To flip rudy a thin

And I'll be home for Christmas

And this year

 

Rudy gets to go

 

Yeah I'll be home for Christmas

 

And this year rudy gets to go
