rate me

(shane macgowan/j. finer)<br><br>It was christmas eve babe<br>In the drunk tank<br>An old man said to me, won't see another one<br>And then he sang a song<br>The rare old mountain dew<br>I turned my face away<br>And dreamed about you<br><br>Got on a lucky one<br>Came in eighteen to one<br>I've got a feeling<br>This year's for me and you<br>So happy christmas<br>I love you baby<br>I can see a better time<br>When all our dreams come true<br><br>They've got cars big as bars<br>They've got rivers of gold<br>But the wind goes right through you<br>It's no place for the old<br>When you first took my hand<br>On a cold christmas eve<br>You promised me<br>Broadway was waiting for me<br><br>You were handsome<br>You were pretty<br>Queen of new york city<br>When the band finished playing<br>They howled out for more<br>Sinatra was swinging,<br>All the drunks they were singing<br>We kissed on a corner<br>Then danced through the night<br><br>The boys of the nypd choir<br>Were singing galway bay<br>And the bells were ringing out<br>For christmas day<br><br>You're a bum<br>You're a punk<br>You're an old slut on junk<br>Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed<br>You scumbag, you maggot<br>You cheap lousy faggot<br>Happy christmas your arse<br>I pray God it's our last<br><br>The boys of the nypd choir<br>Were singing galway bay<br>And the bells were ringing out<br>For christmas day<br><br>I could have been someone<br>Well so could anyone<br>You took my dreams from me<br>When I first found you<br>I kept them with me babe<br>I put them with my own<br>Can't make it all alone<br>I've built my dreams around you<br><br>The boys of the nypd choir<br>Were singing galway bay<br>And the bells were ringing out<br>For christmas day
