“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 lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last”
Fairy Tale of New York - The Pouges
www.pouges.com Ah, Evil Scientist's most hated of my unhappy holiday tunes. It's the old story of performing artists who flock to New York to make their dreams come true on Broadway and end up impoverished drug addicts. Still, there's some romance to this end. The less spectacular end of performance dreams is realising that you have no money for grad school near the end of your bachelor degree so you slam out a minor in management and join the evil corporate forces.
