Fairytale of New York by the pogues lyrics

[Mewan131]

I came here cause of Avan Jogia!! <3

[Shamsuzzohan]

that will be 'arse' .. not 'ass' .... in England we call it like that.

[iCrayonsful]

The girl in this is my step-mums auntie or cousin. One of those two anyway. :)

[Antzcceltic1]

[caseybieberxxx]

YERRRR ROLL ON NEW YORK US IRISH LOVE YI'S !!! :L

[lilahladybug]

!WARNING:do not listen on weed!

[Tacomadome24]

What an excellent song!

[MorrisonBombadil]

came here via walk off the earth... hate the original. not because it's irish folk, but i don't need to hear a drunk vomit into a microphone, accompanied by a woman who sounds like she used to be a man :(

[caseybieberxxx]

yerr ireland wooo hahah we love use americans <3 !!!!

[RayBright1]

@caseybieberxxx

I don't think this person is an American, not with a name like Morrison Bombadil. They're disowned for such a ridiculous statement anyway. Who doesn't like mic-vomiting? I'm a 63 yr old American who loves this song. Hey Morrison, Pogue Mahone.

[eithnejack]

@RayBright1 It's spelt Pog mo thoin lol nice try though, nice to see the language isn't quite dead yet :)

[jennblu1]

One of the best, not sure how her name is spelled I have a mc name I would think McColl or McCull, I think the later. Thanks for the lyrics, I never got the "lying there almost dead with a drip on that bed" it puts it all together perfectly, paints a picture. Good job, much appriciated.24 years I went not knowing that line, thanks to you i'm enlightened.

[dlj230558]

I can watch this any day of the year... it's a classic.

[XParamoreX1000]

Ah Lads :') this song is classic .. ,, for the haters : Ya scumbag ya Maggot you cheap lousy faggot :*

[BirdWatcher7000]

watching this even when chrisgmas was over:D Still love it, reminds me of christmas 2011

[moonlightandlove]

Yes thanks for posting, I used this to practise violin and vocals for a gig, worked ! :-)

[roniQ2112]

This is such a tear rendering, heartbreaking, laughable, sweet, ruff, grow up adult xmas song ever and I love it, It hold so much significance to a certain special person in my life that it makes me cry and smile in such a short amount of time, so Thank you for this version it is the best.

[Cpskolan]

thumbs up if your a guy who watched P.S i love you with a girl and liked this song enough to look it up

[Honeycombe88]

I never head of this band before the Subaru commercial. This video was fantastic, so I could understand what the lyrics are. I have been educated! I LOVE this band. I loved this video.

[mat4909]

@aardvarkability You're free to like or dislike whoever you want of course, but you are in the minority. Most people love him.

Also, the video has the lyrics. It's easy to match up the sound when the lyrics are in front of you, but if you just hear the song it is difficult to understand what he is saying, for most people at least, and that's what his comedy is about. Commenting on things that most people will have thought themselves.

[chrischu22]

the song makes me sad ,, but i love this song

[aardvarkbilly]

I don't find McIntyre funny, I don't understand how anyone finds this song hard to understand. Maybe hard to memorise but is a slurred Irish accent really that indecipherable?

[Emolovekindaweird]

I actually love this song so much .. idk why tho :L <3

[staticzzgaming]

can i just ask. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW THE LYRICS

[gamerWILSON95]

@staticzzgaming lol

[ChocolateProduction6]

i thought no one could do the lyrics thumbs up if u saw harry hill with the dolphin and the zip :0

[MegaannXD]

This was basically how my Christmas went. All the good things have to end though, but i'll always remember it M

[1killerseabee]

he "built his dreams around her". Couldn't make it on his own. A happy ending in my book. We should all be so lucky no matter the out come.

[ARSEN4LBEN]

The only thing i hate about christmas is that you wait so long for it and you cant wait and then when christmas day comes it goes so quick

[MiladyOfMoonlight]

Awesome song, even more awesome text! Played this with my band on a Christmas concert, it was definitely the right choice! :D

[strojarcek]

What females between 13-17 and males between 45-54 have in common? Seems like they all love this song

[IHateHorseSlaughter1]

I've known this song for what feels like ages <3 Listened to it last year (2011), the year before, year before <33 not because someone else sang it <3

[SteveMedski]

Can you believe that a "Certain Group" of people wanted the lyrics changed to this song....... Fucking grow up you sad twats !!!!!!!!!! The song should be left as it is and should NEVER be changed !!!!!!!

[girlracer12341234]

MICHAEL MCLNTYRE AND PIXIE LOTT SING THIS WAY BETTER <3 <3

[urock200]

[Katel6100]

[MsEarthangel666]

[mirosavicilija]

Свака част за песму, поздрав из Србије!

[RemzofFrance]

I think its "merry Xmas you arse" instead of "your ass". Splendid song, isn't it?

[RachelOSullivan12]

@RemzofFrance Ya it is :L

[dahappiehippie]

@RemzofFrance actually it is your ass so as to say: I was going to say merry christmas but bollocks to that! in a shorter form

[RLHish]

I love how nobody knows the lyrics normally :)

[mycrustytoe]

Michael McIntyre is amazing!!!!!!!! :D

[iTzCODxKiNgZ]

[DreadedGareth]

And as for Ewan MacColl, I think the moving on song (Go, move, shift!) was a fantastic song :) Happy Christmas!

[DreadedGareth]

Sorry - was being facetious.... I think maybe she was called Kirsty....and you're right, she was awesome!

[DreadedGareth]

Who the FU** was Kristy?

[escaravelha1]

@DreadedGareth she was wonderful. Her dad wrote "Dirty old town". She died.

[aov3000]

Love this song! Thanks for posting it. I think that one line is "God, I'm the lucky one," but close enough.

[adsbegone]

I call my family members "cheap lazy faggots" every Christmas. They all understand my reference.

[PureZOOKS]

T'isn't Christmas til' this is playing.

[Gandalf606]

God Bless Kirsty MacColl. As an English lass, the proper lyrics she sang (i.e. not Americanised) were:

"You scum bag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot (last word used in this way here means 'you're like an old woman' in English)

Happy Christmas your arse,

I pray God it's our last (to rhyme with arse).

THE best Christmas song ever. How we still miss Kirsty after all these years...

[MaryKatherine4]

p.s. i love you brought me here :)

[iMasseyyx]

Merry Christmas to all you scumbags, maggots and cheap lazy faggots :)

[weegiewarbler]

Best ever... no doubt about it.

[MRBWFC95]

ONE DAY!!! ARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH :)

[CubbyCubbyCupcake]

I feel all irishy listenin to this:D

[1justpara]

A song that truly reflects how Christmas really is these days, an amazingly realistic Christmas song. Christmas = Pagan festival full of stress, debt, quarrels and misery for many, and most are thankful when it's all over. Why put ourselves through it all each year? I've finally taken Christ out of Christmas and no longer participate in this stressful,self indulgent time of year and oh how much happier I have been as a result. Good song Pogues, very meaningful. Try to enjoy christmas everyone.

[god33e]

@1justpara Christmas is about being around friends and family and your love. Its not about the gifts! Its only stressful when people forget about this. Try it one more time just for your family and friends and your love, chap

[Nudd33]

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

[xfrogix]

walked passed a pub today in the city center, and heard it being sung on the kareoke :)
