    I know I should hand in my passport as a disgrace to Irish people but I actually don't really like that song... It's really sad and it's always sung (badly) by a group of drunken geebags with their arms around each other in a big circle at 2am in some $hitty nightclub.

    Thing is, I know it's a good song- great lyrics, great tune- but over the years I've just liked it less and less.

    The Pogues' Christmas classic Fairytale of New York has already earned Shane MacGowan a cool €460,000 in royalties over the seasonal period.

    [Intro]
    I know it sounds weird
    I do want you to look back on this and smile but
    I kinda want that smile to be through tears

    [Verse 1]
    I ain't shoutin at ya - I'm shouting to ya
    Hello darkness (my old friend) let's turn you into filthy lucre
    And suture wounds and tumors with dark humor mixed with hubris
    In lieu of future suitors with a blast of nasty rumors

    Seems the light at the end of the tunnel was a fire
    Now I'm choking on the smoke in my lungs, I'm so tired
    But I can't go to sleep with a mind that's so wired
    You call that **** depression - I call it inspired
    Talk is cheap when you speak the weak prose you're throwing
    You're just a sheep in a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing's clothing
    And the holes ain't closing, just exposing goatskin
    This corrosion shows you can't control the motion
    ****, the romance is dead? Blame the hopeless romantics
    Resigned to hopelessness their romantic plans with sycophantics
    So I won't put the nice things we do on YouTube
    Don't need the world the world to love me - I just need you to

    [Hook x2]
    The world don't revolve around you but it should
    I ain't saying you're perfect, but you're really really good
    Ain't saying I love ya but I probably could
    Have

    [Verse 2]
    I thought it was love but I was wrong
    Tortured a dove just to prove Prince wrong - I love that song
    I guess you broke my heart but it kinda needed breaking
    And the grating exasperatings hating's already dissipating
    "Love..it's a weird thing ain't it?" You're ****ing right it is
    Enlightened by the disquiet sight, I kinda like this ****
    We fall in love with that which we project on each other
    Then settle for reality or just reject one another
    So I respect the mother****er that reflects upon their lover
    And then lets them walk away or resurrects and recovers
    Way more than I respect those that just close up the shutters
    And ignore the ****ty shell within which both of them suffers
    I wore my heart on my sleeve and you stole my ****ing shirt
    But go ahead and wear that **** - happiness of the absurd
    These words divert the hurt and send me soundly to sleep
    But every word I wrote I meant so ****ing read 'em and weep

    [Hook x2]

    You should all be working instead of celebrating on AH - anyone would think you're enjoying yourselves.

    Nice little earner.

    I read somewhere that Slades merry Christmas generates £600,000 STERLING each Christmas for Noddy .

    Kinda tempted to write a Christmas hit now :)
