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
And 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 the 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
Living there almost dead on a drip
In that bed

You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy ******
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.

A song that I've successfully become bored beyond belief of since the hip new gen crowned it the unofficial best Christmas song ever.

his teeth tho

Still one of my favourites. 12 years since Kirsty left us. :( Was first thing I could think of to do with Christmas Eve though...

Love this song, its one of the best christmas songs

...if you like pina coladas...

or getting caught in the rain.....

Don't care how commercial this song has become....I still love it...

Happy Christmas Eve everyone. One more sleep....

..if you're not into yoga..?..

The opening lyrics of this song :lovedup:

:lovedup:

If you have half a brain...

..if you like making love at midnight...

Best christmas song, so hip

One of the worst Christmas songs.

...in the dunes on the cape...

..then I'm the love that you've looked for...

Write to me and escape.

I'm sure I could write a better last line using the word "gape".

You cannot mess with the classics.
