Okay, I'm obsessed with this song, so I've decided to see what some writers can do with it. Write a song fiction using Fairy Tale of New York - Pogues/Or any other band who sung a cover of it. This song is not one year long it's I'd say at least five years, so I'm giving till Christmas seem convenient eh? Heheh. Last thing prize is three critque of works you choose. Second Prize all my points I have then.
Now for lyrics.
"Fairytale of New York" Lyrics
It was Christmas eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
We 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 cCty
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
And 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
And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway bay"
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day
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
And the boys of the NYPD choir still singing "Galway bay"
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day |

| Haha, that sounds interesting. Chances are with a deadline of Christmas I'm 99.9% likely to forget about it, however lol. |
