He died? Yesterday I saw a Film in TV for the First time about him 😢 Respect for him and His Songs will remeberd for us! Ireland I Love you! Greetings from Germany
You held the pen of Behan You made words become a dream You stood there on the stage and gave us all a banshee scream You gave us loads of Humor Blessed us all with a hissing laugh Your songs will live forever Miles long be your epitaph The public house is full of tears Songs will lift as we all say Thank God for the legend who was born on Christmas day Be at peace, Shane, The Godfather of Celtic Punk! This will forever be my favorite Pogues song.
RIP, Shane. Feels like it was both a long time coming and utterly shocking all at once. Incredible musician and lyricist AND one of the most distinctive voices in music. I'm sorry he's gone but grateful for the music he left behind.
That's my favorite line too, although I love "I'll walk in on my feet, but I'll leave there on my back" too. MacGowan has great phrasing too, the way all those syllables rise and fall together. I'm really intrigued by the outlook or philosophy of this song. One hears it in all kinds of places. "When you're sitting back, in your rose pink Cadillac, / making bets on Kentucky Derby day, / well, I'll be in my basement room, with a needle and spoon / and another girl, to take my pain away", as the Stones put it, has the same expression of suffering, and wanting its cessation. Jesus & Mary Chain too -- "I wanna die, I wanna die" just means, I want to stop suffering.
The Pogues, The Clancy Brothers, The Dubliners and now the Mary Walloppers, what a hell of a place Ireland is and Im proud to have been born and live there! Cheers!
Blaze way down the Rebel Path! Always wondered how old the prince of drunkards might get 65 is quiet old considering he started drinkin at the age of 5
Man lived and sang and did as he thought best. And better yet, drunk or sober, he shared it with goodwill. May he do well wherever it is we go next. With a green bottle if he likes.
This was the song Shane, this was the one, blasted, bereft of mind, late night, whatever speakers, whatever Continent I was in, got me up and windmilling like the dark had no dawn.
@@JohnDoe-if2uo I know it sounds crazy to you now. It sounded crazy to me 40 years ago too. If you actually humger for the truth and toss ALL preconceived notions. Everything always comes backs to Jesus/Yeshua. Everyone knows, silently, in their heart, He IS the answer for an eternity in peace with the TRUE Creator. It sticks in the craw of atheists even. I once was one.
Cheers, mate. Having a double right now, just listening to your old tunes, remembering the late 80s Pogues gigs where I saw you and the lads live on stage, the joy we had those days. Never forgotten. Thanks. RIP Shane, hope you'll find rivers of whiskey. Slainte !!
Cheers from factoryland southeast Michigan. Our rusty cities are damn near perfect for this anthem. Wado ole boy. Cherokee-Anglo-Irish here, and gonna keep our cement train going.
Cannot express in words how i love this people,and I'm not Irish and english is not even my native language.Don't know if there's another life and all that mystic shit ,but if there is , I know what I want to be , Irish !!
They're English. Shane was born in Kent; England - as were all of the band. They're a London band, that came out of the the punk scene. Shane was always at the Sex Pistols gigs in London when he was 16.
Oh the words that he spoke Seemed the wisest of philosophies There's nothing ever gained By a wet thing called a tear When the world is too dark And I need the light inside of me I'll walk into a bar And drink fifteen pints of beer
I have cursed, bled and sworn jumped bail and landed up in jail Life has often tried to stretch me but the rope always was slack And now that I've a pile I'll go down to the Chelsea I'll walk in on my feet But I'll leave there on my back
My boyhood friend died soon after telling me about this band .I feel it was symptomatic of his pain . Great band though with real feeling in it . .the lead singer is perfect
In 1991 i was at the if god should fall from grace tour gig at wembley. they predicted macgowan to have another two to three years to live. an now this bloody bastard is still alive. amazing !
Always so fun! Glad to hear that Shane and his wife are happy and doing well. The pogues opened a new world. I love post punk. ..grew up on.... but the Pogues showed you how not just look at your shoes....they showed you how to have fun again.. especially if you are Irish!
I am feeling the pull of the moon, which will be full on May 16, and enjoying a shot or two of Pogue's single malt whiskey. I bought it on a whim (because they don't sell t-shirts), and I am delighted at how good it is. God bless the Pogues and God bless their single malt. xxxooo
the words that he spoke seemed the wisest of philosophy Theres nothing to be gained by a wet thing called a tear When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me I'll walk into a bar and I'll drink fifteen pints of beer
Sang this when walking home the other night from a friends house completely drunk had a sore throat the next day but twas worth it, one of my many favs by the Pogues!
Brilliant. It sounds cheap and tinny but thats the absolute genius creating an atmosphere of a moment the song portrays. Shane you were a true wordsmith and a true gent Rest in peace my friend❤❤❤
RIP Shane, what an entertainer and singer. Getting the audience to sing along with him with his infectious style.
The news of his death ruined my day!
He died? Yesterday I saw a Film in TV for the First time about him 😢 Respect for him and His Songs will remeberd for us! Ireland I Love you! Greetings from Germany
Love this band what legends
You held the pen of Behan
You made words become a dream
You stood there on the stage and gave us all a banshee scream
You gave us loads of Humor
Blessed us all with a hissing laugh
Your songs will live forever
Miles long be your epitaph
The public house is full of tears
Songs will lift as we all say
Thank God for the legend who was born on Christmas day
Be at peace, Shane, The Godfather of Celtic Punk! This will forever be my favorite Pogues song.
As he was Irish, he gave you HUMOUR not Humor 😂
You're a poet and I hope you know it
Thanks...❤
Well said
Lovely poetic post, nice one❤
Wow. Did you come up with all that yourself?
RIP, Shane. Feels like it was both a long time coming and utterly shocking all at once. Incredible musician and lyricist AND one of the most distinctive voices in music. I'm sorry he's gone but grateful for the music he left behind.
Perfect words, man...

Works for me brother.
Works for everyone else too ☺️

@@HawaiiBohs Kent's not in London. But yeah some people used to use that term back in the day.
@@neilsun2521 Yea I know where Kent is. Just going on what the Pogues have referred to themselves as. Good enough for me.
May the rivers of whiskey flow for eternity RIP SHANE 🇦🇺🦘🍀🍀🍀
Many years ago I lost My "Pogues" virginity to this song. Still one of the best!
Drinking Jameson right now, cheers from Sweden!
Loving kindness for the Pogues
Beautiful Shane miss you absolutely the best ❤
I love how they flip the table and the plastic pint glasses just bounce off the ground unharmed.
G'wan Shane. I'm having this played at my funeral. Nothing to be gained by a wet thing called a tear.... magic.
+Jargon Ellie: make sure you invite me. if nothing else Ill drink your share of the whiskey.
Me too! If anyone leaves my funeral sober I'll count it a life misspent
Too right mate. Cheers 🍻 🥂 🍻 🥂
Me too brother. Very very loudly.
@@FelixstoweFoamForge Fantastic, oh and I’m Sister. 🥰 XxX
Oh the words that he spoke
Seemed the wisest of philosophies
There's nothing ever gained
By a wet thing called a tear
When the world is too dark
And I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into a bar
And drink fifteen pints of beer
I have cursed, bled and sworn
jumped bail and landed up in jail
Life has often tried to stretch me
but the rope always was slack
And now that I've a pile
I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet
But I'll leave there on my back
Lovely song ❤
Such a way with words 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Streams of Whiskey in remembrance of my grandfather, couldn't think of a better way to pay tribute.
How can anyone not love this??? 😂😂😂😂
