Fairytale Of New York Testo

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won'tsee another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
Iturned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came ineighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happyChristmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreamscome true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers ofgold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
Whenyou first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadwaywas waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of NewYork City
When the band finished playing
They howled out formore
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissedon a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPDchoir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing out
ForChristmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut onjunk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, youmaggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it'sour last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took mydreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I putthem with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams aroundyou
