Christmas Music Countdown #6 "Fairytale Of New York" The Pogues

Always a Christmas favorite and sure give you a chuckle...

"It was Christmas Eve babe



In the drunk tank


An old man said to me, won't see another one


And then he sang a song


The Rare Old Mountain Dew


I turned my face away


And dreamed about you


Got on a lucky one


Came in at ten to one


I've got a feeling


This year's for me and you


So Happy Christmas


I love you baby


I can see a better time


When all our dreams come true


They've got cars big as bars


They've got rivers of gold


But the wind goes right through you


It's no place for the old


When you first took my hand


On a cold Christmas Eve


You promised me


Broadway was waiting for me


You were handsome


You were pretty


Queen of New York City


When the band finished playing


They howled out for more


Sinatra was swinging,


All the drunks they were singing


We kissed on a corner


Then danced through the night


The boys of the NYPD choir


Were singing "Galway Bay"


And the bells were ringing out


For Christmas day


You're a bum


You're a punk


You're an old slut on junk


Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed


You scumbag, you maggot


You cheap lousy faggot


Happy Christmas your arse


I pray God it's our last


The boys of the NYPD choir


Still singing "Galway Bay"


And the bells were ringing out


For Christmas day


I could have been someone


Well so could anyone


You took my dreams from me


When I first found you


I kept them with me babe


I put them with my own


Can't make it all alone


I've built my dreams around you


The boys of the NYPD choir


Still singing "Galway Bay"


And the bells are ringing out


For Christmas Day"
