| discochuck (Manhattan Beach, CA) | Posted: Aug 09, 2006 - 15:32 This was orginally envisioned as a duet between Shane and 'Cáit' O'Riordan, the old bass player. |

| ptooey (Out there. Way out there.) | Posted: Dec 22, 2004 - 13:54 Probably the only Christmas tune I'll be giving the 'Godlike' rating to. A perfect 10. |

| ScottFromWyoming (Powell, Wyo.) | Posted: Dec 22, 2004 - 13:52 It was christmas eve babe in the drunk tank an old man said to me won`t see another one but then they sang a son 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 another one where all our dreams come true. They got cars big as bars they 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 day you promised me broadway was waiting for me You´re handsome you´re pretty queen of new york city when the band finished playing they hold out from more Sinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singing we kissed on a corner and danced through the night. And the boys from 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 scambag you maggot you cheap lousy fagott happy christmas you 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 can everyone you took my dreams from me when I first found you I took 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 were singing Galway Bay and the bells were ringing out for christmas day. |

 Shane: I could have been someone... Kirsty: Well, so could anyone! 
Agreed! Now play it already, the silly season is nigh! :) |
| ce (The Netherlands) | Posted: Sep 11, 2002 - 07:00 At first glance this might seem just another mindlessly happy chrismas song, but it's got some really in-your-F'ing-face lyrics (just in case you hadn't noticed yet): 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 are singing "Galway Bay" And the bells are ringing out, for Christmas Day ...) Best Christmas song EVER! Or at least the most refreshing. |
