Shane MacGowan And The Popes - A Christmas Lullaby lyrics

It seems like a freeze out It seems like a freize Stumbling I fell down And prayed on my knees The ice wagon's coming To pick up the stiffs Had a chat with an old one He was gone in a jiff And Santa and his reindeer Jumped over the moon So hush little child Santa's coming here soon Tura lura luray Tura lura lie Tura lura luray It's a Christmas lullaby Tura lura luray Tura lura lie Tura lura luray It's a Christmas lullaby I hope you grow up angry Just like your dear old dad I hope you grow up brave and strong Not like me - all weak and sad You said "Daddy, daddy You're stinking of booze" I kissed him and said, "Kid I was born to lose But you have a future And a big one to say And I hope you'll remember All the love that I gave." Tura lura luray Tura lura lie Tura lura luray It's a Christmas lullaby Tura lura luray Tura lura lie Tura lura luray It's a Christmas lullaby Heres to all the little kids Who haven't got no clothes Heres to all the little kids Who haven't got no homes It's Christmas time in Palastine It's Christmas in Beirut They're scrapping 'round for rice Not for tutti fruits And the Christmas lights, they blew up Now the 'lecky's all gone dead I look like a coal miner And I've a pain inside my head Tura lura luray Tura lura lie Tura lura luray It's a Christmas lullaby Tura lura luray Tura lura lie Tura lura luray It's a Christmas lullaby Tura lura luray Tura lura lie Tura lura luray It's a Christmas lullaby Tura lura luray Tura lura lie Tura lura luray It's a Christmas lullaby [The Chorus for the song is stolen from "Tura Lura Luray (That's an Irish Lullaby)" written by James Royce Shannon. Van Morrison has performed it with The Band on their album "The Last Waltz".]
