Berikut ini lirik lagu "Fairytale of New York" dari Vance Joy.

It was Christmas Eve
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
When 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 told 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, and I've had it
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 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
I 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 are ringing out
For Christmas day
