Fairytale of New York- Pogues cover

Thanks to everyone posting comments! We love hearing from you! Just a note; there was some confusion regarding the change of lyrics in this song. We know the real lyrics but where we come from it's actually offensive to say. So we improvised and changed the word! We love the original, but didn't want to offend anyone!

Enjoy!


Fairytale of New York by The Pogues

It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, wont see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Theyve got cars big as bars
Theyve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
Its 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

Youre a bum
Youre a punk
Youre an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy "Haggot"
Happy christmas your arse
I pray God its 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
Cant make it all alone
Ive built my dreams around you

"Faggot" was used here as slang for "lazy person" in Liverpool and Ireland, i think

Fayritale of New York is very difficult to sing. It can be as good as anyone right. And no one is good at. Your version is good! I like it that you can that. I congratulate you, you do it really well, it's a beautiful song, and you are doing really really well!
