face away
And dreamed ab
out you
Got on
a lucky one C
ame in eightee
n to one
I've got a fee
ling This year
's for me and
you
So happy Chris
tmas I love yo
u baby
I can see a be
tter time When
all our dream
s come true
/faster now/
They've got ca
rs
Big as bars
They've got ri
vers of gold
But the wind g
oes right thro
ugh you
It's no place
for the old
When you first
took my hand
On a cold Chri
stmas Eve
You promised m
e
Broadway was w
aiting for me
You were hands
ome
You were pretty
Queen of New Y
ork City
When the band
finished playi
ng
They howled ou
t for more
Sinatra was sw
inging
All the drunks
they were sin
ging
We kissed on t
he corner
Then danced th
rough the nigh
t
The boys of th
e NYPD choir
Were singing '
Galway Bay'
And the bells
were ringing
Out for Christ
mas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old
slut on junk
Living there a
lmost dead on
a drip
In that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lous
y faggot
Happy Christma
s your arse
I pray God
It's our last
I could have b

You took my dr

I put them wit
h my own
Can't make it
all alone
I've built my
dreams around
you
