Pogues question
Last week I heard a Pogues song that featured a woman (Cait, perhaps?) singing with Shane. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the song or the CD. Can anyone help?

DD, in addition to the song Blue mentioned, there's the classic "Fairytale in New York" (which duets Shane with Kirsty MacColl, one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time).
There's also "Haunted" by Shane MacGowan and the Popes (a duet with Sinead O'Connor), a gorgeous rendition of a song originally soloed by Cait on the Pogues' original version from the SID AND NANCY soundtrack.
I'm sure there are others, but these two spring to mind at the moment. I hope this is helpful.

Probably not "I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day", as this is Cait on her own, not with Shane.
Probably is Fairytale of New York with the wonderful and sadly missed Kirsty RIP.
It was Christmas Eve Babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
Won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's form me and you
So Happy Christmas
I love You baby
And I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
When the wind blows right threw you
It's no place for the old
When You first took my hand on a cold Christmas eve
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finshed playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner
And danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on that drip in that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy maggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
chorus
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
chorus

You're probably thinking of the version done by Shane and Sinead O'Connor. It's on this
