Fairytale Of New York
(专辑: Live At The Point - 1994)
It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the
drunk tank An old man said, "Son, I
won't see another one" And then he sang a
song, a
rare old mountain tune I
turned my eyes away, and I
thought about you I
got on a
lucky one, came in at 18/1 I've got a
feeling this year's for me and you So Happy Christmas, I
love you baby There's going to be good times When all our dreams come true They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the
wind blows right through you It's no place for the
old When I
first took your hand on a
cold Christmas Eve I
told you that Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome and pretty, queen of New York city When the
band finished playing, the
crowd howled for more Sinatra was swinging, and the
crowd they were singing We kissed on the
corner and danced round the
floor And the
boys from the
New York police choir were singing Galway Bay And the
bells were ringing out on Christmas Day I
could have been someone and so could anyone I
took my dreams from you when I
first met you I
kept them with me, babe, and put them with my own I
can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you You're a
bum, you're a
punk, you're an aul hoor on junk Lying there on the
drip nearly dead in the
bed You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas me arse, I
would rather be dead And the
boys from the
New York police choir were singing Galway Bay And the
bells were ringing out on Christmas Day I
love you baby I've got a
feeling this year's for me and you So Happy Christmas, I
love you baby There's going to be good times When all our dreams come true So Happy Christmas, I
love you baby
