A Christmas Lullaby lyrics

(Shane MacGowan)
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-acap
