One of the few songs that I do like to hear every Christmas is…<\/p>\n
Fairytale of New York <\/strong>
\nShane Macgowan & Kirsty Macoll<\/em><\/p>\nIt was christmas eve babe
\nIn the drunk tank
\nAn old man said to me, won’t see another one
\nAnd then he sang a song
\nThe rare old mountain dew
\nI turned my face away
\nAnd dreamed about you<\/p>\nGot on a lucky one
\nCame in eighteen to one
\nI’ve got a feeling
\nThis year’s for me and you
\nSo happy christmas
\nI love you baby
\nI can see a better time
\nWhen all our dreams come true<\/p>\nThey’ve got cars big as bars
\nThey’ve got rivers of gold
\nBut the wind goes right through you
\nIt’s no place for the old
\nWhen you first took my hand
\nOn a cold christmas eve
\nYou promised me
\nBroadway was waiting for me<\/p>\nYou were handsome
\nYou were pretty
\nQueen of new york city
\nWhen the band finished playing
\nThey howled out for more
\nSinatra was swinging,
\nAll the drunks they were singing
\nWe kissed on a corner
\nThen danced through the night<\/p>\nThe boys of the nypd choir
\nWere singing “galway bay”
\nAnd the bells were ringing out
\nFor christmas day<\/p>\nYou’re a bum
\nYou’re a punk
\nYou’re an old slut on junk
\nLying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
\nYou scumbag, you maggot
\nYou cheap lousy faggot
\nHappy christmas your arse
\nI pray god it’s our last<\/p>\nThe boys of the nypd choir
\nWere singing “galway bay”
\nAnd the bells were ringing out
\nFor christmas day<\/p>\nI could have been someone
\nWell so could anyone
\nYou took my dreams from me
\nWhen i first found you
\nI kept them with me babe
\nI put them with my own
\nCan’t make it all alone
\nI’ve built my dreams around you<\/p>\nThe boys of the nypd choir
\nWere singing “galway bay”
\nAnd the bells were ringing out
\nFor christmas day<\/p>\n(shane macgowan\/j. finer)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
