.An amazing song. Love Kirsty MacColl, she did not deserve what she got. RIP Kirsty. .x.

The song was meant as a reply to "Jolene" by Dolly Parton, giving Jolene's side of the story, geinius! xx

Was Kirsty catholic? This song combines lust and guilt in a really catholic way (at least from the perspective of this parochial school survivor and seminary dropout's son).

@nycdude999 Kirsty was so crushed by stage fright that touring was never an option. So she had to live and die by the success of her albums and her labels' marketing efforts. From what I understand when she first performed "Fairytale in New York" live, it was the first concert she had been in in several years, and she only was able to do it because the 8 members of the Pogues meant that she didn't feel like she was under the spotlight.

I still don't get how this wasn't a monster hit. Great song, brilliant lyrics (for what it is), steller production values. Thanks for posting this.
