Irish Christmas song



It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, 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 City
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

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

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

The boys of the NYPDchoir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas Day

Zambomba



Me he comprado una zambomba
Un pandero y un tambor
Y pa completar la orquesta
Los cacharros del fogón.
Coge tú las tapaderas
Que no hay que dejar dormir
Ni al de arriba, ni al de abajo
Ni al que tiene guardia aquí.

Canta, ríe, bebe, que hoy es Nochebuena,
y en estos momentos no hay que tener pena,
dale a la zambomba, dale al almirez,
dale a tu suegra la murga después.

Esta noche todo el mundo
está mucho más contento,
después de la buena cena
no se para ni un momento.
Hasta mañana temprano
no me tengo que acostar,
pues esta noche me ha dado
por bailar y por cantar.

Canta, ríe, bebe, que hoy es Nochebuena,
y en estos momentos no hay que tener pena,
dale a la zambomba, dale al violín,
dale a la cabeza y canta feliz.

Al chico de mi portera
Hoy le han traído en camilla
Por pedir el aguinaldo
Al tendero de la esquina,
Al tendero de la esquina,
Que ha tenido la atención
De tirarle a la cabeza
Un pedazo de turrón.

Canta, ríe, bebe que hoy es Nochebuena
Y en estos momentos no hay que tener pena
Dale a la zambomba, dale a la sartén
Y dile al tendero que lo pase bien.

Duo


Fuchsia is a dancer
Dancing on her toes,
Clad in red and purple,
By a cottage wall;
Sometimes in a greenhouse,
In frilly white and rose,
Dressed in her best
for the fairies'evening ball!

In my world


In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're close to me
I could see
That moment of truth when you spoke to me
In my world
It's never too late we can both be free
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

If you knew

The changes I feel that you put me through
And you do
I see in your eyes that you really do
And it's true
It happened so fast that it must be true
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

And I'm only just beginning
To believe what you have done
How you turned it upside down
This world of mine
And it seems while I was looking
It was right in front of me
All the time

In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're close to me
I could see
That moment of truth when you spoke to me
In my world
It's never too late we can both be free
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

'Cos I'm only just beginning
To believe what you have done
How you turned it upside down
This world of mine
And it seems while I was looking
It was right in front of me
All the time

If you knew

The changes I feel that you put me through
And you do
I see in your eyes that you really do
And it's true
It happened so fast that it must be true
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

Starlight


Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing the starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite

All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
This ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

All the roadrunning


A million miles our vagabond heels
Clocked up beneath the clouds
They're counting down to show time
When we do it for real with the crowds
Air miles are owing
But they don't come for free
And they don't give you any for pain

But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain

The rimshots come down like cannon fire
And thunder off the wall
There's a man in every corner
And each one is giving his all

This is my fife
This is my drum
So you never will hear me complain

And if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain

All the roadrunning
All the roadrunning

Well if you're inclined
To go up on the wall
It can only be fast and high
And those who don't like the danger
Soon find something different to try
When there's only a ringin' in your ears
And an echo down memory lane

But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain

All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning

The show's packing up
I sit and watch the convoy
Leaving town
There's no pretending I'm not a fool,
For riding around and around
Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
You showed me one time on the plane

But if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain

A million miles of vagabond sky
Clocked up above the clouds
I'm still your man for the roaming
For as long as there's roamin' allowed

There'll be a rider
And there'll be a wall
As long as the dreamer remains

And if it's all for nothing
All the roadrunning's
Been in vain

All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning

The moon says hello


Lady, I've been dreaming of the past
When things were moving way too fast for me
I guess I knew it couldn't last

Lately, I've been hiding underground
I guess it all became too much for me
Now I'm needing to be found

But there are times when I see you go
And the wounds start to burn
But then the moon comes to say hello
And the rain turns to snow
So say hello

Will I see you again you know?
Oh, will I meet you again you know?
Will I find you again you know?
Will I see you again?

But there are times when I see you go
And the wounds start to burn
But then the moon comes to say hello
And the rain turns to snow
Oh say hello

Will I see you again you know?
Oh will I meet you again you know?
Will I find you again you know?
Will I see you again you know?

Oh will I meet you again you know?
Will I find you again you know?
Will I see you again you know?
Oh will I meet you again you know?
