The Pogues - Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six Lyrics

[SorrowSigvaldr]

Its hard to keep up because the lyrics are different from what Shane sings.

RIP Bobby Sands (9 March 1954 – 5 May 1981) You died in The Maze 30 years ago today. May you judge the judges.

Right because nobody ever got raped in a reformatory, Walshy my boy. As far as being a justice system the British Empire was never about anything but justice for those who could afford it.

[walshy2866]

I'd rather be a "whore of the empire" ,(presumeably a referance to the English), than a "whore of rome". Wallowing in their own self pity,more than happy to continue milking the victim role for all its worth&when they really drop a bollock they can go snivelling off to their priest,knock a few hail marys/our fathers off&get instant forgiveness.

Don't knock the arse out of the Britsh justice system,while the church of rome continues its 2000 years of lies,suppression,deception&pae­dophillia.

@walshy2866 Fuck the church and the empire, two sides of the same coin ;)

[crossybhoy]

@MsBlounty "Repatriate to Britain, All ye who call it home,

Leave Ireland for the Irish: not for London nor for Rome" - John Lennon "Sunday, Bloody Sunday". or would the Scapegoats Song be more appropriate?

It's not about Catholics vs Protestants.. it's anti-catholic Unionist lapdogs vs United Irishmen. Wolfe Tone, Henry Joy McCracken, Charles Parnell: all Protestants and the 3 Flowers. Republicans dont care about religion; just in a fair, united 32 county Ireland.

[DAFUNK213]

@walshy2866 There's far too much hatred in your message bud.Not all of us Irish are religious but it shouldn't take religion to know whats right and whats wrong.You're wrong.Try a little less hatred.You'll see you'll feel better.

Right - it's actually two songs combined; "Streets of Sorrow" written and sung by Terry Woods (also an original member of Steeleye Span, BTW), and "Birmingham Six" by and sung by Shane.

[smokemeagoat]

[bettycooper]

[jduff59]
