- I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town - เพลง
Shane MacGowan just died today... I love this song and this performance in particular, it is raw and authentic. That sentence in the beggining "This is called dirty old town" chills me everytime. Rest in peace poet of the people - you'll be missed!
Yeah, mate, it's a sad day.
This performance showed the mutual love and understanding he and fans shared. A very special thing. Ah, Shane.
Yes mate very sad day for us here in Ireland he was a true legend 😢💔💚🤍🧡🙏🙏
It’s a sad, sad day. Sent my dad this video who raised me on the pouges. He texted back “I lost a family member today”. The pouges have a deep root in my family. Thankful for shane’s life ❤️
😢❤
I returned from my first trip in the Merchant Navy as a Marine Engineer Officer Cadet and paid off in my home port of Hebburn. After 4 months away at sea I hoped that the girl I loved wouldn't have fallen out of love with me while I was away. I had sent a telegram telling her what time the ship would dock. I walked towards the white Lead pub and the foul smell of the Lennox chemical factory. I saw a familiar figure walking towards me. I dropped my suitcases and ran to meet her. That kiss was something I'll never forget. Christine passed away last year, 2 months after our 40th wedding anniversary. I love her so much and will only stop when my mind and body follow hers.

Sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing your story

Legend never will be forgotten, this song will be heard for hundreds of years to come. RIP SHANE 😪
You know he didn't write this right?
@@kernowarty who wrote it?
lol
OUI....c'est le CRI DU COEUR POUR SA TERRE ET SA PATRIE....❤❤❤
Call him a alcoholic call him wasted talent I call him a incredible human being with a talent RIP IN PARADISE ❤
And Can’t carry a note (though if he were ever caught sober he probably sang like a bird . Lol ) , but he is a freakin legend. Not many can pull that off.
The drinking was only one part of his genius
No was drugs too @@richardalexander261
Shane McGowan was brilliant There will never be anyone like him ever 🇨🇮 RIP Shane You were a One off 💚Xx
I'm portuguese and I thank you for this amazing hymn. Kind of a therapy for a fucked up week. RIP Shane.
Lovely comment
Boas e que viva la música
Feliz Navidad
This song is human kind heritage. It is directly linked to our souls. Thanks for that masterpiece Shane. Your one of a kind.
The word is you're NOT your.

Shane wrote some beautiful songs, but not this one. This was written by James Miller of Salford. Born to Scottish parents and better known as Ewan MacColl. The song is about Salford and one of the group actually dedicates this song at the beginning, saying "this is for anybody here from Salford"....(0.15).
R.I.P to the legend.. he will be missed by us all.. he was a light in a gloomy life :(
It's a memory I'll never forget, a Pogues concert in Germany.
Shane was stoned out of his mind, he stumbled on stage, lit a cigarette, drank a whiskey. Then he had to hold on to the microphone stand.
The music started to play.Shane celebrated all his musical skills. The moment is deeply etched in my mind. An incredible performance.
That was over 30 years ago.
I love and adore the Pogues.
Amazing memories ❤️
Is right 1 of the memories you WANT TO HAVE AND KEEP
Shane looks like a cross between Phil Ochs and Liam Neeson!
Glad you got nice memories ❤
Great story man 😎
R.I.P. Shane - Classic Pogues song - Dirty Old Town 😊👍
Best song of all time!! RIP Shane ❤️
Shane Macgowan is still alive at June 4th, 2021. At this point nothing can beat this man
EDIT: unfortunately Shane MacGowan died today aged 65, may he rest in peace.
And I hope nothing will legend
How lucky are we the “older generation “to appreciate this ? When the young get older so will they!
Macgowan is superlative
🙏
May God Watch Over Him !
Mad to think this was only 10 years ago and Shane is completely on point! What a difference a few years makes. The whole band is so underrated, after all they went through the music is absolutely out of this world. Pure fucking talent 🇬🇧 🇮🇪
You know what mate, well said, I'm only 38, and have known this song and the band all my life, dad and his girlfriend always have the pogues playing at their legendary house parties.
So now even though me and dad haven't spoken in years, due to him being a money grabbing bastard, now I listen to them on my own, and enjoy their talent, and the waterboys, and levellers, the rolling stones, led zep, and pink floyd, atleast for my age I enjoy real music , so I'm happy for him to of imparted that to me, even though in the long run he was a let down.
with love and a happy christmas from Salford
Totally agreed! What’s Shane been up to since they split again? Anybody have video links. He’s got his gruff here, but it sounds better than ever.
@@johngreen7085 all United aren't we?
@@technomickdocumentalist2495 Well your no Fxxk up! And you great taste in music regards from Ireland Eire32
No cellphones, just singing and dancing, a real crowd!!!!!!!! R.I.P Shane!!!!
Had an Irish friend who I used to work with many moons ago in the mid eighties, he said you've got to come and see this band at Nottingham Rock City The Pogues. It's still a great memory, the love and friendship in the crowd was amazing great gig. Farewell Shane Legend.
Shane, byłeś jedyny i niepowtarzalny. Poeta, chuligan, Irlandczyk… Mistrz.
So wahr. Du sprichst mir aus der Seele. ❤

This has been on repeat all day in memory for this absolute legend!💙
It seems like everything Shane sang was raw and authentic. I had forgotten just how much I love The Pogues. Thank you Shane for 30 years of helping me get thru life.
Whenever the Irish sing it's always raw and authentic, just as God intended.
Rest in peace Shane McGowan, musical genius ❤️
You were one of our own we love you Shane ❤🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😊
I saw pogues in finsbury park london. 2000 i think, shane appeared to be drunk and staggered about the stage , but when they started playing he somehow morphed in to something beyond incredible! You have to have seen him live to understand.sad day. ❤😢
I know what you mean. Saw them in Las Vegas in 2006, and just the same. Shane the Immortal!
I was there too...RIP Shane
Oh my frikn god, this is the first time I've ever listened to the Pogues. Why oh why didn't anyone tell me how great this band is. I'm 51 yrs old now and I've just listened to this track 4 times in a row
I am English and the pouges are fking awesome
all things come to those who wait :)
I'm 63 same I've been in a bubble
Where you been?
But at least you know now ❤
RIP Shane. All you have to do is watch and here the crowd in this video. I would have loved to have been there amongst that crowd. What a performance! What a band! Thanks for all of your music that still touches us all. RIP ☘️
💯💯
Me too - they were having fun.
Absolutely
May he rest in peace
Totally agree with everything you say
The Pogues lives forever!
As good as it gets brought a smile to my face watching this and tears from my eyes , absolute genuine performance and of course the audience played their part as well great interaction , thank you Shane and Band ! ❤
Yes agree
I am absolutely broken hearted
May he rest in peace
i love the little old boy,his smile is electric and u can see hes enjoying every minute.. what a song this is
That old boy is Phil Chevron and he's only aged 55 in this video. He was very ill and passed in October 2013.

Fantastic song, fantastic song writer, best car music you can get. RIP Shane. You were one of the best. 👍👍👍
He didn't write this song but he did write Fairytale in New York, I always thought he wrote this but just found out Kirsty McCoy's father wrote it, I had no idea McGowan was born in England either, gotta love google.
Shane Macgowan is still alive at 17th November 2022. At this point nothing can beat this man
I used to work by the docks in Salford in the 70s. It was a bit rough at that time but I was hooked on the place. I then went to New Zealand in 2018 and was in a bar on the South Island and requested a band to play this. Not sure if it would go down well as it was a young , very diverse crowd. The place absolutely erupted - everyone knew it!! I couldn't have been happier. I love Salford and I love this rendition of the song.
No matter where you go in this world this song is loved
Did you hear him say this is for everybody from Salford?
On my last trip to Manchester, I took - I think - two buses to get to Salford just to remember Shane MacGowan, this song, and its author/playwright/committed Socialist ... Can;t call his name now. Well, the Lowry museum is good, great, but it wasn't the Salford I came to love in Shane's singing. G B Hopkins - Texas Up the Iristh!

How?
Still wonders how's the lad is standing on his two feets as of today🤣🤣
The old mans face in the flat cap playing the guitar says it all! Music of the soul, age is just a number
he was 55, died a few months later of cancer
He was "only" one of the begginers of the band!
@@Bianchess However did he keep performing??? I was sooo sick I crawled if I had to go to the br--- or ANYWHERE!!! From the cancer--- or all the chemo? Not sure--- but I sure wasn't singing!!!!!! By the way---- this is Linda using Duane's computer.
And I was MUCH younger than 55!!!!
Again----Linda comment- not Duane!
Shane, j'ai pleurai ce soir ! parce que tu ai parti ! Et je pleure encore ! Tu m'a bercé pendant des années sur tes rythmes ! J'arrête la et je chiale encore ! Merci l'ami et VIVE L 'IRLANDE !
Sadly, Shane will die some day. But Shane will never actually die. Memories. Music. A legend. Shared with the future.

Hommage à cet homme qui nous a quitté récemment à 15 ans j ai appris cette chanson par cœur je la chante régulièrement en karaoke
Irish punk-folk! Shane is the one of the best poets of all the times RIP legend! This band was never underrated, but loved by entire world!
This song brings tears in your eyes!!
No body has ever done a better version of this song than the Shane boy. Would love to have been in that audience. ☘️👍❤️
Sure, that's exactly what I thought
I Was, never once missed them in Ireland
I saw them live around that time, incredible- a really beautiful summer night-back in the days when we were free.
@@rosegolden6164 Lucky you, he’s some boy.
There was an Irish pub (Ireland's Own) in my old home town of Alexandria, VA. The summer this song came out, whomever was playing at the IO that night was sure to play it at some point during the evening. The bar would be jam-packed, shoulder-to-shoulder, on those sweltering, sultry, summer Saturday nights and the place would erupt when the band started playing it. It was truly magical and more than a bit bittersweet for me as it perfectly caught the emotion of being 21 and dating a beautiful girl (a professional ballerina by day and a bartender by night) in Old Town, Alexandria. I used to wait for her to get off work on those crowded, raucous, hot summer nights when we had the whole of our lives stretching out in front of us. As I leaned up against the wall outside the bar, the bricks still warm from the summer's sun, I could hear the patrons at Ireland's Own just up the street and together we would walk hand-in-hand bar-hopping up King Street until we were part of the crowd, singing our lungs out. Then we would climb into our cars and race home down the Potomac River, redolent with the rich aroma of mimosa and honey-suckle, and make love in her bedroom. God bless you Tina. I'm sorry I let you slip through my fingers but, in the end, leaving me was the smartest thing you ever did.
WE HAVE TO FIND THIS MAN'S TINA FOR FUCK SAKE BOYS!
Beautiful written my Man
RIP Shane , you will never be forgotten, I true diamond in life, you will be sadly missed by millions, thank you Shane 💙🏴👍
Listen today for the first time in my life. The simplicity of the lyrics is so beautiful. Such a diamond İ found today ✨
Very jealous of you experiencing for the first time.
Written by Ewan MacColl, an English song writer, who also wrote 'The First Time'. But whatever you do, DO NOT, listen to the original of that song, sung by Peggy Seeger. Roberta Flack's version is as good as any.
@@billking8843 Thank you for sharing ✨
Yes! This is what it's all about. It doesn't need to be "perfect" with a great show with fire and light and staged beautiful singers. The music needs to bring joy, and look at the joy they are bringing the crowd! Excellent, this is what music is about for me.

To my dad rip great song
I love this song
Dirty old Town dirty old Town
I'm gonna replay it
I heard a siiiiiiiiiiiren from the dock
We all have a dirty old town in our past, in our memories... not the worst, not the best memories, but they cling with us. This song manages to revive it all in a very vivid manner. Amazing...
Agreed
I was driving in my car once, and this song popped up on my CD player. My friend asked me “what town are they singing about”. I told him that it is about a place which I used to work in, Sun Valley, CA. /s
That's beautiful. Yeah.
Love this song and people like these will never be forgotten
I came here as soon as I heard about Shane. This is a hard one. We were so lucky to have had him but it wasn't long enough. May he rest.
Ich kenne dieses Lied seit einer Ewigkeit. Gute alte irische Musik. Ich liebe es. Hier hat man auch beim Betrachten der Menge das Gefühl, dass die Iren ihr Land wirklich lieben, so wie sie sich geben. Gott, ich beneide euch Iren.
