I still think this is a great idea for a song. Kirsty was a super songwriter. Very underrated.

Good song Chris but not one of her own. Written by Billy Bragg.

I prefer Billy’s own version. I remember the first time I heard it one morning after a party in Herne Bay back in what 1983.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from ginnywings

Anyway, back to Kirsty and her most famous moment, seeing as it's nearly Christmas. A song that just never gets old, and one that brings back many memories for me of people long gone and my Irish ancestry. Tears will be shed. Enjoy!




Did you know they've altered a recorded version of this song with the line  "You cheap lousy faggott" changed to "you're cheap and your haggard" and they've got rid of the word slut in the line "You're an old slut on junk" in case it offends anyone.

You couldn't make it up.

The faggott line was changed very early on Les for the US versions. The BBC has been in two minds, sometimes playing one and sometimes the original.  I wasn’t aware of the slut line change. When was that?

I'm not sure what the exact situation is regarding Fairytale of New York and I might be paraphrasing but I think I read that it's along the lines of BBC Radio 1 have to play the changed version, on Radio 2 the DJ can decide which version to play and BBC 6Music will play the original version. Bizzare.
