Christmas by the Lyrics

Get ready to set your Facebook statuses and MSN Messenger* personal messages to spread some holiday cheer:

From The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" featuring Kirsty MacColl (written by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan):

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 its our last

From Aesop Rock's "Holy Smokes":

Christmas morning smelled fresher than angel pussy
But immaculate conception came second to playful goodies
Like laser-tag was way more spiritual than blood and body wafer bags
And manger staff is swung as Santa ate the cookies

From Material Issue's "Merry Christmas Will Do" (written by Jim Ellison):

I call, yes I call
But I always put down the phone
When I hear his voice I got no choice
But to spend Christmastime here alone

You don't have to say you love me
I know that that's not true
But Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas will do

*Yeah, it's now known as Windows Live Messenger, but god it was MSN Messenger for so long and we wouldn't even still be using it if it wasn't for convenience and the fact it was ingrained with my generation in our formative years (i.e. middle school/high school).
