It is a joy. Enjoy it. "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" "You were handsome You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing They howled out for more" "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" Fairytale Of New York
by Jem Finer and Shane Patrick Lysaght Macgowan 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 Still 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 Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells are ringing out For Christmas day

19/12/2018 0 Comments I love that song - Christmas - "Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth" by Bing Crosby and David BowieBing and Bowie from a TV Special in 1977. Little Drummer Boy is a Christmas Song written in 1941 . In this version, the "Peace on Earth" counterpoint was especially written for the show and David Bowie, who it is suggested hated "Little Drummer Boy". At the time, I thought "Wow!, Bowie on a Bing Crosby Special? What is that about?". The song is introduced with some corny "Old Timer", "Young Generation" chat about Christmas and Christmas music. As it happened, there was no need for me to be shocked. The song worked, and Crosby and Bowie's voices (at least to my ear) work beautifully together. Incidentally, this single became one of Bowie's best selling during his career, with total estimated sales over 400,000 in the UK. "Little Drummer Boy / Peace On Earth"
