Nick Lowe Christmas At The Airport
[female voice over Public Address speakers]:
Passengers are reminded to keep personal items and luggage with them at all times
Any unattended luggage in the terminal building will be removed by security …… and may be destroyed
[Vocal]:
Outside, the taxi window
On the way to catch my flight
I notice snowflakes playing
In the everfading light
When he dropped me at departures
It was really coming down
Deep and crisp and evil
It settled on the ground
It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport
All the planes are grounded
And the fog is rolling in
It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport this year
Doors are locked and bolted
Let the festivities begin!
[airport terminal background sounds interlude]
The terminal was seething
Without much Christmas cheer
So I found an empty closet
And bedded down in there
When I woke much later
I was quite alone
Check-in was deserted
Everyone had gone
It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport
I took a set of x-rays
They came out rather well
It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport this year
I'm doing Santa's sleighride
On the baggage carousel
[female voice over public address speakers]
Passengers are advised that oversized items such as buggy ……. wheelchairs …
Are to be found in the [tram?]
Which is situated opposite carousel eight
Instrumental interlude
It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport
I should be at the table
With all my kith and kin
It looks like Christmas
Christmas at the airport this year
Don't save me any turkey
I found a burger in a bin
