The Pogues

by RathBandu

ARAGON: It was Christmas Eve, babe, in old Rivendell
Bilbo said to me, “Won’t see another one.”
And then he sang a song, “The Road Goes Ever On”
I turned my face away and dreamed about you

Got in a lucky Age, came in a ferocious rage
I got a feeling this year’s for me and you
So happy Christmas, I love ya baby
I can see a better age when all our dreams come true

AREWEN: They got steers big as bars, they got great rings of gold
But the Ringwraiths attack you-it’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas eve
You promised me Gondor was waiting for me

ARAGON: You were immoral

ARWEN: I could tell even then you were a king of men

BOTH: When the band finished playing they howled out for more
Gandalf was swingin’, the hobbits were singing
We kissed on a bridge and then I got Evenstar

The boys in the Rohan Riders were singing “Galway Bay”
And the white horns were ringing out for Christmas Day

ARWEN: You’re a man, you’re a coward

ARAGON: You won’t face the two towers
Walking to the Grey Havens with your silly black cloak

ARWEN: You scumbag, what danger?
You cheap lousy ranger
Happy Christmas my arse I pray God it’s our last

BOTH: The boys in the Rohan Riders still singing “Galway Bay”
And the white horns ringing out for Christmas Day

ARAGON: I coulda been someone

ARAWEN: And not just anyone
You took my dreams from me when I first found you

ARAGON: I kept them with me babe
I put them with your star
Can’t make it all alone
Look at Beren and Luthien

BOTH: The boys in the Rohan Riders still singing “Galway Bay”
And the white horns ringing out on Christmas Day
