Fairytale of New York - Kirsty MacColl

[00:07.97]It was Christmas Eve babe,
[00:12.49]in the drunk tank
[00:17.27]An old man said to me,
[00:21.18]won't see another one
[00:25.59]And then he sang a song,
[00:29.92]The Rare Old Mountain Dew
[00:34.48]And I turned my face away,
[00:38.79]and dreamed about you
[00:43.39]Got on a lucky one,
[00:47.48]came in eighteen to one
[00:52.10]I've got a feeling,
[00:56.79]this year's for me and you
[01:00.84]So happy Christmas,
[01:05.11]I love you baby
[01:09.73]I can see a better time,
[01:14.43]when all our dreams come true
[01:28.51]They've got cars big as bars they've got rivers of gold
[01:32.40]But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old
[01:35.50]When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
[01:38.56]You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
[01:41.53]You were handsome
[01:41.85]You were pretty Queen of New York City
[01:43.85]When the band finished playing they howled out for more
[01:47.44]Sinatra was swinging,
[01:48.70]all the drunks they were singing
[01:50.03]We kissed on the corner,
[01:51.46]then danced through the night
[01:52.97] The boys of the NYPD choir
[01:55.98]were singing 'Galway Bay'
[01:58.72]And the bells were ringing out,
[02:01.08]for Christmas day
[02:14.26] You're a bum, You're a punk,
[02:15.27]You're an old slut on junk
[02:16.73]Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
[02:20.24]You scum bag, You maggot,
[02:21.35]You cheap lousy faggot
[02:23.33]Happy Christmas your arse,
[02:24.30]I pray God It's our last
[02:25.78]The boys of the NYPD choir
[02:28.86]still singing 'Galway Bay'
[02:31.80]And the bells were ringing out
[02:33.90]for Christmas day
[02:47.61] I could have been someone
[02:50.07]Well so could anyone
[02:52.71]You took my dreams from me
[02:55.98]when I first found you
[02:58.81]I kept them with me babe,
[03:02.07]I put them with my own
[03:05.19]Can't make it all alone
[03:07.77]I've built my dreams around you
[03:12.33]The boys of the NYPD choir
[03:15.82]still singing 'Galway Bay'
[03:18.76]And the bells were ringing out
[03:20.86]for Christmas day
