Yeah, this is just a repost of a post I made at the old sims forum about a year ago, meant as a tribute to the late Shane McGowan. Of course, in my naivety I suppose, I had thought that the post would stay in its orignal form a little longer than it did, hence I sort of didn't post it on my blog, and as such all that remains of it now is just a skeleton... so, for that reason, I post it again now:
Also, the original post didn't feature a link to the song, due to its controversial lyrics, and because I was actually unaware that a clean verison of it existed. Honestly, I feel like I should have know, but I didn't... So this post will link to the clean version. You can of course also choose to listen to the original by finding it on Youtube or Spotify if you wish.
Music:: The Pogues - A fairytale of New York (Clean Version)
Quite possibly my favourite christmas song of all time...
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 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
Were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
Rest in peace Shane MacGowan you dirty old punk!
The Bushweeds salute you - you've been a great inspiration for this band, more than you will ever know. ;)
And Kirsty MacColl, too. Thank you for the music..
