My favoritest Mismas Song...~8D

[thedarksiren2]

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 slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "galway bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day


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...

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "galway bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day

I love that song. I don't listen to the radio, so I haven't heard much christmas music, but I want to hear The Kinks "Father Christmas," which is another good one, as far as christmas songs go...

can't say as I know that one, but I'll have to look into it!

Greta tune...

R.I.P. Kirsty MacColl

Oh wow...I had no idea she'd died. Then again, I am so off on what's going on in the music world anymore...

*sigh*

R.I.P. indeed.

She died in a tragic swimming/boating accident in Mexico almost four years ago to the day...

What were the odds that Shane MacGowan would be still be alive and Kirsty would not?

Sing it babe!

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

heh

actually, I first heard this song because someone wanted me to sing it with him at open-mic night in Kent, OH about ten years ago. I've loved it ever since!

I spent christmas day learning to play that on guitar. It's fun, especially when I get to get all rattly voice like shane macgowan, but it's hard when I sing both parts, cuz going up and down like that makes me sound like a 15 year old boy talking to a girl he's crushing on. Lotsa squeaking.

LOL be careful...you can hurt your voice if you force those sortsa things, and you have such a lovely voice, it'd be a shame.

awww that's awfully sweet of you to say. Completely wrong, but sweet nonetheless. I talk like fran drescher and sing like marianne faithful... grrr
