The Pogues Fairytale Of New York (Ft. Kirsty McColl) Lyrics
[Him]
It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me: won't see another one
And then they sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away and dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen 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
Where all our dreams come true.
[Her]
They got cars big as bars
They 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
[Him]
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
[Both]
When the band finished playing they yelled out for more
Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks they were singing,
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night.
And the boys from the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out for christmas day.
[Her]
You´re a b__ you´re a punk
[Him]
You´re an old s___ on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
[Her]
You scumbag you maggot
You cheap lousy f__got
Happy christmas your a___ I pray god it´s our last.
[Both]
And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day.
[Him]
I could have been someone
[Her]
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
[Him]
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can´t make it out alone
I´ve built my dreams around you
[Both]
And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay
And the bells are ringing out
For christmas day.
