    Thank you to the Pogues and lyricists Jem Finer and Shane Macgowan and to Kirsty MacColl (RIP).
    An uplifting Christmas song for the underdog in all of us. Relationships ruined by personal failings can be rekindled in time with an unknown future. A microcosm of Pogues Mahone and Shane Macgowan.
