love the traditional ones very much...but also have a large collection of blues and soul Christmas songs, a favorite being "merry Christmas baby". by various artists.....by the way, Cassie paid a worthy donation to post that nauseating , bug-eyed , obsequious , vile, disgustingly sweet cat just to annoy me.... :-5

I love all the Christmas music........the normal hymn and carols. I also love Charlie Brown's Christmas album and lOVE the Irish Pogues.....album, the Best of the Pogues.

My favorite in it is Fairie Tale of New York, Shane McGowan singing with Kirsty MacColl It's a love story and an utterly fantastic lyrics.........

I'm a huge Pogue fan. Sadly Shane is no longer with the band.....at least not that I know of now. He's a brilliant lyricist and song writer........but also a major drunk!

LADY COP! Buy this album. It's called the THE BEST OF THE POGUES. You will thank me! You have GOT to hear this song! Anyone here from Ireland or England will KNOW the Pogues!

Here are the lyrics to Fairie Tale of New York...........a MUST have!

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

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

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxoo

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

Just like the one I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

and children listen

to hear sleigh bells in the snow.........da da di da da di

Lovemama. The pogues, outstanding behaviour, THE best christmas song ever, Saw Shane McGowan on the tv last week God he looks awful, all his teeth are now gone and he was swigging neat vodka from the bottle but he sure can sing.

It is the one christmas record that gets everyone on their feet in the pubs over here. How many Christmas songs have the line "You scumbag you maggot"

I am sure you know but Kirsty McColl died a few years ago in a bizarre boating accident.

The 12 Days of Christmas of course..... as performed by that great Canadian Duo... Bob and Doug Mackenzie....

And a Beeeer... in a treeeeee

Lovemama and Bothwell, i am going right out and get that album! :-4

LoveMama · Post by **LoveMama** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 9:32 am

Bothwell,

I knew you'd know this song AND the Pogues. Oh my God......Shane never has looked good but God bless that talented drunk! About the lyrics.......Insults don't get any more straightforward than that!

Gosh.....it was really horrible when Kirsty died......everyone thought it was Shane who would be dead first.......horrible accident, think they may be still investigaiting it! Details are sketchy, but it is believed she was hit by a speedboat which was in an area reserved for swimmers and the guy who ran into here was a very wealthy Mexican. I haven't followed it lately but the last I heard her mother was trying to get a documentary done on her life......and untimely death.

Hey..................MERRY CHRISTMAS.

:yh_hugs

XXXXXXXXOOOOOOO

In typical canadian form.... GHD that is funny and you truly have to be canadian to appreciate that sond.

I would say my fave xmas song too is O Holy night and the best version I have ever heard is by Country singer John Berry the man has a powerfuly beautiful voice and this opinion comes from many a year searching for the best version of that song.

White Christmas by Bing is my second fave.

Then Little Drummer Boy
