PM Quote '..i am going to assume by your follow-up that you are taking the piss' Unquote

@PM - It was a long hard slog but we got there in the end eh?... ; ) x

[polmaccaba]

CJW-I am responding to your comment, not the lyrics of the song. i am going to assume by your follow-up that you are taking the piss. Either way, no skin off my nose. Just love the song.

[CJWensleydale]

TMcC - Awww come on now da, how can I make your Met's name any worse cub?

[CJWensleydale]

aldgunencarrothers - I know but I do so love troll-baiting - indeed almost as much as I love the Pogues. On another note if you're still touting for business, do you need any protection (for the right fee of course)? Some of those old bankers can get a bit uppity... ;~{)

[tinmccool]

Aye right Cjfilth, your're a proper hard boy, giving the Met a bad name son.

[CJWensleydale]

Buggered if I know, china... ; )

[CJWensleydale]

Exactly!

[CJWensleydale]

HD and PM:

Instructions: Listen to the lyrics properly, look at aldgunencarrothers comment, think about irony and try again you pair of gullible (but loveable in your naivete), clown trousered, trolling buffoons... ; )

[maineiacial]

@CJWensleydale CLOWN TROUSERED TROLLING BUFFOONS!!!!

[aldgunencarrothers]

@CJWensleydale all you can do is laugh really! fuckin hell...a sea of fools!

[polmaccaba]

Its the old main drag for a reason, copper (CJW), i hope you are proud of yourself, what goes around comes around.

[CJWensleydale]

Brings back memories of when I was a Met copper. We used to pick up rent boys and kick there bollocks in over at Vine street nick...happy days!

[humdrummer]

@CJWensleydale

And I bet it made you feel like a real big man instead of the inadequate, tiny bollocked prick you are

[gallonofpcp]

@CJWensleydale what does that even mean?

[welshperson123]

shanes a leganed, fair play for someone who drank so much that they could bearly talk he could sing really good

[flix4321]

i remember being hammered in leicester square,,,infact i'll be somewhere round there tomorrow probibly fucked like sean

[honeykisses1987]

I first heard this song in My Own Private Idaho. Amazing movie if any of you get the chance to watch it. Myself and others would recommend it. :)

[ettyburton]

Me too! just finished watching the movie and I immediately searched the song! both beautiful!

[jenniferjuniper97]

Yeah it was perfect for My Own Private Idaho. they really understand street life/ its suffering and joys.

[jpogues1]

I've been in this situation too many times.

[keg64]

[shanester71]

[peacefrog1916]

wherever, whatever, have a nice day.

[truth8beauty]

This song was in that movie... My Own Private Idaho... with River Phenonix and Keanu Reeves... GREAT flick if you ever get the chance to see it. AWESOME flick. Great song. The Pogues rock all around.

[Lithium40]

yes yes, that moment at the end of the film is forever lodged in my memory. On that long dusty road. River Pheonix's performance is the most natural and beautiful thing I've ever seen. Have a nice day :)

[bananaPLEASE]

[irisheclipse]

Christ- this brings back a few memories

[muzedon]

Beautiful song!

[rox989]

intro similar to this other italian song:

Contessa (by Modena city ramblers)

[adri2771]

contessa non è di quelle merde dei decibel?

[JTpoguemahone]

no è dei Modena City Ramblers

[adri2771]

allora ce ne sono 2, e la più vecchia è di sicuro dei decibel... le ho appena sentite, quella dei modena è una cover dei pogues, per quanto vale la musica; le parole no di certo... penso facciano schifo uguale, comunque.

[adri2771]

NO è dei pogues!!!!!!

[KalinaZankova]

The song is brilliant!!!but this isn't a radio...there aren't a picture!!!

[cattotti]

Me Too! Beautiful lyricist Shane eh?

[Robnbeantown]

breaks my f**king heart

[Bradius123]

brilliant tune...one of my moms favourites.

[cinnamonbrandy8]

I knew an old rent boy - he was proud of *not* being the rent boy who ripped off Alan Turing. Fair.

[Sillanalla]

This song plays in the end of a movie about rentboys..with Keanu Reeves starring...surprised the shit out of me..

[SunshineIsDaShit]

Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix :)

My own private Idaho.

[falstaffswims]

Yes, the crowning point in that film. Those closing credits, up till when I was ambivalent, wondering "is Gus Van Sant as smart as he seems to be from what I've just seen. Or is this a fortunate accident." And then came the Pogues, to reassure me that everything I saw was real brilliance, from a man who knew nothing could complete such a film but the Pogues-- what a lovely, painfully sad song. Makes me sneer at the coppers all day, when I hear it. Just sneer, in impotent rage and indignation.

[dirtyfleabag]

whats interstin is...any song about irish hardship brings out its victims,now proud to be named martyrs...any rentboys proud to say hi?i dont think so because our country cant deal with it...great,honest song

[tamtartan1967]

this song is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good

[doodiewhacker]

love this song, always kinda brings a tear to my eye, awesome drinking music!
