    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I never liked that one line though. Creeps me out.

    No doubt

    I had a strange dream about this song the other night. I'm in a graduate writing program (memoir) and instead of doing a reading at the end of the program I sang this song with a classmate...dunno what it means but it gave us a good chuckle.

    The Pogues - Fairytale of New York

    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 were ringing out
    For Christmas day
    In the land of the little kings
    Profit is the only thing
    And everywhere the little kings
    Are getting away with murder
