5: Fairytale Of New York
The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, Fairytale Of New York (haggard version)
A reflection on good times in a bad relationship, this would be a good subplot for a series with relationships as a feature.
The lyrics don’t actually frame this as a fairytale, except in the way immigrant stories of the America can be. But of course New York is a city more imagined than seen for most people in the world, me included. And many settings have a city like that where anything seems possible. Small town characters coming to the city at the heart of it all, to live and work or make it there, or just to visit, perhaps for the holidays. What kind of trouble can they get into?
