James, Gavin - Fairytale Of New York Lyrics
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
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
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 by the corner
Then danced through the night
And the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
Christmas Day
You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying 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 are ringing out
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 out alone
I've built my dreams around you
Oh, the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
Christmas Day
Oh, the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas Day

James, Gavin Fairytale Of New York Comments
I LOVE this version!!! I Still prefer the original though, it reminds me of childhood & my Nan coming round for christmas dinner, she has passed away now so as time moves on & seasons change I can always listen to the songs to take me back there to childhood.
This song is magical in it's own way. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals 😂
I honestly think this beats the 1st 1 you had 2 be pissd out ye head 2 sing the other 1 now this is just the best I sing it 24 7 I drive my kids nuts but ive got his words and every bit 2 the 2nd 2 a t I wish I could sing this song with him the girl from next door I think hes amazing singer whot I would give 2 sing with guy my vidios are on f book page name page may and I sang this but I sing down a old mobile as ime poor as shit ahahahahah HAPPY NEW YEAR MY LOVELYS xxx
Give me Shane & The Pogues please
We have the up and at em one
(original one)
And the depressing one(this one)
Jaysus, didn't think it was possible to have a worse version than Ronan Keating's
If anyone has even vague tabs for this, I’ll love you forever. All I can figure out is capo on one and the first chord…
Does anyone know the tabs for this?
Lovely voice but not a patch on Shane
Fascinating interpretation.
I’m so sad Christmas has ended:(
this is better than original
well done gavin
Absolout pure dogshit this is the worst cover of this song i have ever heard its like someone taking a shit in my ear
Brendan Doherty I totally agree this song feel like Kevin Spacey is in your ear
Beautiful song thank you
So that's where I remember his name from
I always listen to iRadio on the school bus, they played this non-stop during my first Christ,as in secondary school 2016 (7th Grade/Year 7 I think we have a different system in Ireland)
fantastic version which did justice to the brilliant original. love it 👍👏
This version of Fairytale of New York is rubbish. Fairytale of New York is a song that only suits Kirsty McColl and Shane McGown voices.
flawless, this man can do know wrong
Saw him play this live in the 3arena loved every bit of it.
I had never heard of Gavin James until today. I was listening to the original version of this song on Spotify and this came on next and I fell in love with his voice!
he went to my school :P
F***ing Love IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he got the bit where the woman sang wrong
Oisin Murphy no he didn't
😢😢😢😢😢
great voice but noting beats the original version
sarah kearney I agree
Does not
Nothing beats the original
good voice isn't what makes this song, the reason its loved is because the Pogues felt every word of this song because they wrote it, I like gavin's voice but he's just trying to make cash off of a classic, gotta make that christmas song money like mariah...
Barry Ficklehorn mind ur own.great song frm gavin 💓
You cant make money from a cover The money still goes to whoever wrote the song
Amazing version
Great Cover!
Love Love Love. His cover is spot on 😊😀
Unreal!!!
I played bass for him with what a legend
He's gonna be world wide in 2017 Some Man Absolutely love him
Best Cover of an already Classic song Great harmonies :D :D
Eargasm
