  • Fairytale of New York - The Pogues (1987) - Rest in peace Shane & Kirsty.
    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 18 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
    Songwriters: Jeremy Max Finer, Shane Mac-gowan.
