Fairytale of New York (feat. Kristy MacColl)

[00:08.11] It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank
[00:16.97] An old man said to me, "Won't see another one"
[00:25.32] And then he sang a song, "The Rare Old Mountain Dew"
[00:34.13] I turned my face away and dreamed about you
[00:42.73] Got on a lucky one, came in 18 to one
[00:51.58] I've got a feeling this year's for me and you
[01:00.05] So, Happy Christmas, I love you, baby
[01:08.80] I can see a better time when all our dreams come true
[01:18.03]
[01:29.34] They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold
[01:32.59] But the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old
[01:35.77] When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
[01:38.78] You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
[01:41.38] You were handsome, you were pretty, queen of New York City
[01:44.60] When the band finished playing, they howled out for more
[01:47.73] Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks, they were singing
[01:50.57] We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night
[01:53.56] The boys of the NYPD choir
[01:56.46] Were singing, "Galway Bay"
[01:59.21] And the bells were ringing out
[02:01.84] For Christmas Day
[02:05.40]
[02:14.63] You're a bum, you're a punk, you're an old slut on junk
[02:17.87] Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
[02:20.62] You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy faggot
[02:23.75] Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it's our last
[02:26.98] The boys of the NYPD choir
[02:29.53] Still singing, "Galway Bay"
[02:32.69] And the bells are ringing out
[02:35.26] For Christmas Day
[02:38.91]
[02:47.36] I could have been someone, well, so could anyone
[02:53.21] You took my dreams from me when I first found you
[02:59.88] I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
[03:06.07] Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you
[03:13.69] The boys of the NYPD choir
[03:16.41] Still singing, "Galway Bay"
[03:19.20] And the bells are ringing out
[03:21.72] For Christmas Day
[03:22.69]
