Christmas fairytale?
Now, if you hadn't heard before "A FAIRY TALE IN NEW YORK" and were woken up in the early hours of Christmas morning to some drunken tramp with skanky teeth shouting about "old sluts on junk" you'd call the police or throw an old boot out the window at them. Instead, someone somewhere went to an old folk's home, found the most incoherent man , spinned him around, put a condom on his tongue and with a stun gun, forced him to recite inane childhood nursery rhymes and crappy cliches about Irish drunks and the auld country, while gargling with whiskey and potato pie. Thus, the unforgettable sound of Shane McGowan was born, along with a little Christmassy singalong of exquisite taste and rare beauty, which has afflicted us ever since. . He then added an atrocious cacophony of flute,mouth organ, fiddle and bagpipes played by chimps and created The Pogues. I'd rather poke forks in my ears than hear that dreadful wailing lamentation. In fact, I hate it so much that once I cried in a club toilet when they played it at Midnight on New Years eve
I don't have a plan......so nothing can go wrong!

Re: Christmas fairytale?
It is infact an ANTI Christmas Christmas song.
A story of a young couple who have fallen on hard times in New York during the depression, and well, Christmas just makes things worse for them.. Dont need a high IQ to figure out why..
If you knew Gaelic, you would know what Pogue means, ( póg mo thóin ) look up Pogue mahone to make life easier...

There's a time for everyone, if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.

Re: Christmas fairytale?
I much prefer the year round fairy tails on here than just the Christmas ones.
You should see the bottom of my garden some time.
