This Christmas (Is Going to Be Different)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nTheres rain in the streets, rain in the gutters of this city
\nSeems like it always rains at Christmastime here
\nThere’s rain in my heart, rain in my shoes and in my soul of souls
\nand if they have rain in heaven you can bet its raining up there<\/p>\n
Now Santa Klaus is all around just like big brother
\nHis twinkling eyes follow you wherever you go
\nPeople spending money buying fancy toys for themselves
\nThen give them to the kids and wonder why they feel so old<\/p>\n
Ah, but this Christmas is going to be different
\nI’m going to have a happy holiday
\nThis Christmas is going to be different
\nCause I dont think I can take another blue Christmas day<\/p>\n
Christmastime Nineteen Hundred 81
\nDriving up the coast with the wife in our beat up SAAB
\nIt was raining all the way, we fought all the time, it was our last chance
\nwe headed for ‘Frisco, we made it to Reno, it was that kind of trip<\/p>\n
The earth drifts from the sun, the days get cold, it’s Christmas
\nif you’re with someone youre warm, but alone is alone, on Christmas
\nThe nights are long, more time for dreaming on Christmas
\nBut when you wake up you find its all just a dream on Christmas<\/p>\n
Ah, but this Christmas is going to be different …<\/p>\n
Sitting round the fire, watching the rain on Christmas
\ni got some brandy in my coffee, trying to crank up some cheer
\nI got the Pistols on the box, god save the queen, je suis l’anarchie
\nWell Im trying real hard to make it turn out okay this year.<\/p>\n
Ah, but this Christmas is going to be different
\nI’m going to have a happy holiday
\nThis Christmas is going to be different
\nCause I dont think I can take another blue Christmas day

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It was warm today and it’s going to be warm tomorrow, in the 80s or even 90s, inland, which, I gotta tell ya, makes it hard to crank up much sincere enthusiasm for a lugubrious dirge of a Christmas song about having rain in your soul of souls.
