Written by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan, this Irish folk-style duet featuring Kirsty MacColl had a troubled two-year development history starting in 1985 before being completed in August 1987. Kept from UK Christmas number one in 1987 by the Pet Shop Boys' "Always on My Mind", it has since reached the UK Top 20 on twenty-two separate occasions. As of December 2023, the song was certified sextuple platinum in the UK for 3.6 million combined sales.
