I voted but I don't think its the best lyric in the song.

the best ones is "....So happy Chirstmas, I Love you Baby, I can see a better time when all our dreams come true...."

or "...I kept them with me babe I packed them with my own, can't make it all alone I built my dreams around you"

But the one you can vote for is definitly the cleverist and the wittiest.

I totally agree. Pogues get any kind of vote from me anyway.

Have a look at the rest of the list. I mean, come on! "I should be so lucky lucky lucky" in a competition that's supposedly about finding the best lyrics? :roll:

Ah, I didn't say it wasn't the best lyric in the list, all I'm saying is I think there are better lyrics in the song.
