Aw, crap. “FTONY” is gonna sound even more poignant now. I think I’ll go listen to it.
i just put it on when I walked in the door- I’m crying her voice is sooooooo beautiful and full of lost and hurt love and the promise of what could have been and the idea that there could be a future full of love and happiness
I could have been someone
well so could have 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
oh god i love this song
Happy Christmas, Kirsty (wherever you are)
too bad it’s our last.
Thanks for the song.
Seems as though Kirsty has hijacked this thread…
They played ‘I don’t want to change the world’ this morning. I loved that when I was a kid.
Miss you Kirsty. XXX
There’s a place to mourn Kirsty here:
Kirsty MacColl has Died
Back OT, it’s not a “great” xmas song, but I can appreciate the sentiment behind Fear’s “Fuck Christmas”. I have a Rhino compilation CD called A Punk Rock Christmas that has such classics as Stiff Little Fingers’ White Christmas and The Dickies’ Silent Night.
I agree with the OP.
But I do have a soft spot for Slade’s MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY and Frankie goes to Hollywood’s The Power of Love.
RIP Kirsty
