im not fussed on it. theres better xmas songs around
so im getting thumbed down for not liking the crappy song, see if i care!!
ps i have a right to not like it!
bah humbug to you all! :P
tis the best xmas song
I think it has something to do with the fact that christmas is mentioned throughout the song.
I love fairytale of new york - it is the best xmas song ever - regardless of the time of year, my brother in law and me sing it on karaoke - it could be christmas in july in his pub - hilarious
Yes, and it is probably the best seasonal song around. Kudos to Shane McGowan!
it`s the song lyrics,
just like jingle bells is not about whiskey! lol!
You've have answered your own question great song though!!
It probably has something to do with the lyrics.....
'.......and the bells were ringing out for Christmas day'
It's actually one of my favourite Christmas songs!
Well it's a song about Christmas, that repeatedly mentions Christmas in the lyrics:
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 s!ut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy f@ggot
Happy Christmas your @rse
I pray God it's our last
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
