Fairytale of New York是The Pogues与Kirsty MacColl一同合作的单曲。The Pogues是爱尔兰传统曲调风格的一个乐队，由8人构成。乐器上，除了传统的三大件：吉他、贝司、鼓之外，他们还加入了班卓琴、曼陀林、笛子、萨克斯、风琴等乐器。庞克音乐与性合唱团的出现及其反制度、反传统的信条影响了当时无数的青少年也导致音乐形态的革命。棒客乐团的中心人物Shane MacGowan也就是深受庞克影响的其中一人。

Fairytale of New York歌词：

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

Still singing Galway Bay

And the bells are 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 NYPD choir

Still singing Galway Bay

And the bells are ringing out

For Christmas day
