Natale a New York con i Pogues


Per questa viglia debittano sul blog i Pogues che conoscevo solo di nome avendone letto qualcosa dul libro "Jack Frusciante è uscito dal gruppo"... mi pare... La canzone è del 1987 ed è stata incisa insieme a Kirsty MacCall. Si intitola "Fairytale of New York" ed è stata votata come miglior canzone natalizia di tutti i tempi dagli ascoltatori delle radio della Gran Bretagna (fonte wikipedia) anche se per me "Last Christmas" resta imbattibile. Comunque questa ballata è stata una bella scoperta. Buon ascolto e buona vigilia a tutti. A domani!Fairytale of New York (The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl)It was christmas eve babein the drunk tankan old man said to mewon`t see another onebut then they sang a sonthe rare old mountain dewI turned my face awayand dreamed about youGot on a lucky onecame in eighteen to oneI´ve got a feelingthis year´s for me and youso happy christmasI love you babyI can see another onewhere all our dreams come true.They got cars big as barsthey got rivers of goldbut the wind goes right through youit´s no place for the oldwhen you first took my hand on a cold christmas dayyou promised me broadway was waiting for meYou´re handsome you´re prettyqueen of new york citywhen the band finished playing they hold out from moreSinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singingwe kissed on a cornerand danced through the night.And the boys from the NYPD choir were singing GalwayBayand the bells were ringing outfor christmas day.You´re a bum you´re a punkyou´re an old slut on junklying there almost dead on a drip in that bedYou scumbag you maggotyou cheap lousy faggotthappy christmas you arseI pray god it´s our last.And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bayand the bells were ringing outfor christmas day.I could have been someonewell so can everyoneyou took my dreams from mewhen I first found youI took them with me babeI put them with my owncan´t make it all aloneI´ve built my dreams around youAnd the boys of the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bayand the bells were ringing outfor christmas day
