    It’s a beautiful song, and there are some versions with cleaner lyrics for the family or work Christmas party.

      Personally I love the original and play it proudly.

      It’s a more honest depiction of human life and relationships. It’s not perfect, it’s not always happy, it’s not always pretty but in the ugliness, there’s something beautiful.

      I love the Irish mind and culture … they can take the most ugly things and make them wonderful.

        I do, too, but my kids like to sing the songs they like at their elementary school, my office has an HR department, and Great Aunt Linda has flashbacks when she hears the line “You’re an old slut on junk.”
