Fairytale Of New York Lyrics

Send "Fairytale Of New York" Ringtone to your Cell

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 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
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

Do you mean No Use For A Name? Their version sucked awful, they couldn't catch emotion with a squad of Gestapo. This is not only one of the best christmas songs ever, but one of my favorite singles ever.

Some horrible person has remade this song as a trashy piece of crap with guitar solos and people belting out lines like they need to shout down a long tunnel! How could these no-talent bastards DO this?!

I'll admit, one of my favorite things about Christmastime is the music. And of all the Christmas songs I love, this is on my list of favorites. It's almost sad, but cheery and happy at the same time. And I'm the same way, listening to it even during the summertime. :)

If you like this song, check out the Christy Moore version! I hate christmas songs (scrooge!) but I can listen to this forever, even during the summer! Must be sung on karaoke! Drunk ideally!
