fairytale of new york - vance joy lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
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
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
they’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold
when the wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old
when you first took my hand on that cold christmas eve
you told mе that broadway was waiting for me
[verse 4]
you were handsomе, you were pretty
queen of new york city
when the band finished playing
they’d howl out for more
sinatra was swinging
all the drunks, they were singing
we kissed on a corner
then danced through the night
[chorus]
and the boys of the nypd choir
were singing, galway bay
and the bells are ringing out
for christmas day
mm*hmm
[verse 5]
you’re a bum, you’re a punk
you’re an old sl*t on junk
lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
you scumbag, you maggot
you cheap and i’ve had it
happy christmas, your *rs*
i pray god it’s our last
[chorus]
and the boys of the nypd choir
were singing, galway bay
and the bells are ringing out
for christmas day
[instrumental break]
[verse 6]
“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
i can’t make it out alone
i built my dreams around you
[outro]
and the boys of the nypd choir
still singing, galway bay
and the bells are ringing out
for christmas day
