If anyone knows Paul Verner (who worked on lighting with the Pogues), please message me. He was my uncle and I am trying to find more information on him.

[Sportymike]

[TMac9025]

A Warrior poet should always brush and floss

[MoonGaurd]

IF you must know dumbass,he got his teeth beat out of him,for protecting Kirsty MacColl From a heckler outside a bar,you fucking prick,have some god damn respect.

[flicfan416]

actually he has a chemical imbalance in his mouth that caused his teeth to deteriorate.

[dave10587]

Shane Macgowan is a warrior poet

[ZeusZenevieva]

She is the best singer to duet with Shane on this song since Kirsty sadly passed

[mcharette774]

ill never forget this show seen them 2 years in a row since then and they havent played this song

[tininho87]

io preferisco quella dei no use for a name

[patrickpipedown]

a rare auld mountain dew, mc gowan in good form here.

[ajvanderlinden]

this is a great song and that is it. why is everybody commenting on other things than this song??

[CastorMcMurphy]

Oh hey, I'm impressed you didn't finish this one with "haha loser" or "uber douche tard" you upgraded to "assmonkey." Good job with the insults, I'm really quivering in the corner in shame.

[DaveyH123]

As you should be, they were all quite apt descriptions of your feeble self.

[diemsballsdeep]

cool song

[colouth]

shane is afuckin legend.just saw him in san francisco for the second time.genius

[IrishChief007]

[DaveyH123]

Bawston, all you fake wannabe irish make me laugh.

[IrishChief007]

[DaveyH123]

[wwefan008]

shut up ! u dont ever slag the irish im irish !! and if were wannabes ow de hell did we produce such a lovely song like that!!

so u leave the irish alone!

go on the irish this song makes me so sad and proud!:'(

[DaveyH123]

you produce? last time i checked shane macgowan was actually irish, american irish isnt irish, its just pathetic yearning for a nostalgic time, i live not a 100 miles from ireland, half my families irish, hell, ive been there at least 50 times, and im not irish, so if ur an ameritard u definitely arent irish, you like wrestling, hahaha you looooooooser.

[CastorMcMurphy]

Actually, Shane is London-Irish, feel free to check your facts.

[DaveyH123]

No, he's english english. Yes he was born to irish parents and lived there when he was young, but he's still english. He's not irish anything, just because he does folk doesn't make him irish, he still sounds like a cockney for fuck sake, u tard

[CastorMcMurphy]

Then why did you say, "last time i checked shane macgowan was actually irish" if "he's english english...he's not irish anything"

[DaveyH123]

You obviously dont get sarcasm do you. Bye bye loser.

[CastorMcMurphy]

Or you just don't know what the hell you're talking about and you're just a bitter idiot who has nothing better to do than rip on people you don't even know. So have fun with that bitterness, I'm sure it really does make you a well liked person.

[DaveyH123]

haha, could you make yourself anymore like a nob jockey? dont think your the type that should be going on about being well liked. haha, u uber douche tard hahaha

[CastorMcMurphy]

Calm down pal...hey how's that empire doing?

[DaveyH123]

wow! im english so i am constantly yearning for the lost glory days of my nation. lol, come on, that was weak dude. yet again, we managed to rule your 'homeland' for a gd few hundred years, and what did you ever do? grow potatoes and fuck your sisters? Theres a reason my nation is 'great', and the only thing you've ever gave the world are lucky charms. hahaha. Peace you assmonkey. haha, eesh im so funny....

[CastorMcMurphy]

Nothing about England is "great," everytime I've been there I've been glad to get the hell back out. What England has achieved is rightly screwing up the world through policies and companies which have directly led to the majority of problems in the world. It is a small insignificant island which produces people with an undeserved and false feeling of self-accomplishment and superiority.

[jam724]

yep england is a fuck up but scotland aint whoo hoo

[DaveyH123]

Lol, yeh scotlands doing truly magnificent!

[DaveyH123]

Policies and companies which have directly led to the majority of problems in the world? Thats straight out of the IRA manual is it not? You diluded fool, dont be bitter because we owned you along with most of the world. What we've given the world pails into comparison to 'lucky charms' tho, hahaha you inbred drunk.

[bobtoole]

Excuse me, what you've given the world is a situation where EVERYONE HATES YOU. Ireland's given the world better writers and a better footie squad over the last 10 years. Wanker.

[DaveyH123]

Wow, what an intelligent statement, well done.

[pokidots]

and thats why no one likes ye :D

[coolsdon]

@CastorMcMurphy But the world absolutely LOATHES America for it's ignorant people and it's deluded importance of which your comments are a perfect example.P.s Britain is the worlds 5th largest economy,hardly insignifcant.I think you must be thinking about Ireland!!

[pokidots]

your an ignorant fool.

[DaveyH123]

I think you meant you're not your. Lesson for life, don't be so quick to judge.

[pokidots]

yes because the internet is THE place to speak correctly...

[DaveyH123]

Idiocy shines through in all situations, and with you, It's glaring.

[pokidots]

yes because that makes sence... you must have a sad life if you define this as a situation. more important things to worry about than this. and you have the authority to define someone as an idiot from a comment on the internet??? ask yourself. you dont know me i could be an oxford graduate!

[DaveyH123]

'sense', S isn't even near C, that's just poor education. I don't need to know you to see It's plainly obvious you couldn't get anywhere near Oxford.

[pokidots]

poor education my ass. ya want me 2 b ignorant there ya go! IN DROLES!

[BrandoRamone]

im with Castor McMurphy. im canadian and i even think that England is a pussys country, hell of a great place for punk music tho;)

[DaveyH123]

You are only a country because of us you utter utter fool.

[BrandoRamone]

exactly why i said "EVEN I", not so bright there, are ya sunshine??

[DaveyH123]

You dont say?! Obviously the word 'respect' is far too advanced to make it into the canadian vocabulary. Now lets challenge you on your conviction, exactly what brings you to the assumption that 'England' is a 'pussys?(pussies)country'?

[BrandoRamone]

watch some riot footage during the anti nazi era in london and you will see my point exactly.

[DaveyH123]

Riot footage during an 'anti nazi?' !era!? what the fuck are on buddy? ask your doctor if 'reality' is right for you. Take your diluded paranoid vision of the world elsewhere, and i hope you send out a thousand thanks everytime you open your mouth and use that language I gave you. Pah, ignorant fool.

[BrandoRamone]

1978, the black riots in london. same time the had the Rock against Racism in Victoria park. anyway, the comment bored for fairytale new york isnt the place to be arguing about this subject. fuck you, good day. oh, btw, your doin a great job with those insults. class a, pal.

[DaveyH123]

the 'black' riots, you a closet racist or something? I think you'll find it's you who is a grade A tool, and you know, when you provide such a ripe target it isn't hard to derive mockery from such an ill-educated moron, go back to your shit life, run down the days, shuffle of this mortal coil and we'll all celebrate the day your nomenclature ceases to be part of the gene pool. Gratzi.

[thepunkfish109]

I dunno if he/she/it'd get that "mortal coil" shit. Better reference the act/scene next time, yea?

Cheers, haha.

[MockingbirdLedger]

So, Davy you need some American Dick!?, or what, come and get it.

[DaveyH123]

on a one to one comparison of contribution to the history of the species, I think we've done 'slightly' more then the confused canadians, your country has an unhealthy admiration for my country, i'll give you that, but that's merely a product of your ex-colonial insecurities. Goodbye you splendid example of the average canadiass.

[MockingbirdLedger]

DavyH123, what species are ya' anyway? If you be a man, do somethin' 'bout it. Aye!

[DaveyH123]

Haha, oh jesus, you sound so hard im quivering.

[LordGodofMercy]

Shane McGowan was born in Tunbridge Wells England. A wealthy stockbroker town. He attended a school for wealthy middle class people until he was 7. On returning from Ireland, he attended an exclusive private school in London he was expelled for drugs. He has a privileged background. His accent is termed Mockney (mock Cockney) A faux London accent used by the middle class to appear more working class credible. A brilliant lyricist . I have been privileged to see him/them from the very beginning

[parkerbear1]

Saw this live last year, all the crowd singing the song for shane lol

Bring on manchester!!!!!!!!!

[spunkkey]

fuck i cant wait too see them in a few weeks time long live macgowan

[DaveyH123]

you gonna spunk over them you looooooooooooser.

[nlmaccoll]

the man is pure genius!! ella is pretty good too!

[nlmaccoll]

the tempo varies every time shane sings this song. he did pretty well at the beginning but ella moved the tempo along when she came in with her part. doesn't differ that much from the original.

[TBro278]

Saw them twice in 06 St PAddys Day and the next in NYC, twice this year St Paddys Day Eve in Philly and the 17th in NYC again

[DaveyH123]

well then ur sad mate.

[susanmauz]

they made a great team, r i p kirsty xxxxxx

[martincns]

i made love to him on a bench

[tnman39]

It never matters what version of this I see, I love it when Shane and katie\ellen start waltzing. It really is moving the way the crowd goes nuts for it.

[spiderman30603060]

Who cares about his apperance. The man is a musical legend. Goin seeing the pogues in december cant bloody wait.

[emak47]

stupid people goin on bout his teeth the mans a fuckin musical genius its a pity hes done that 2 im self but u cant take his genius away from him

[NUKEMTWICE]

saw them 20 years ago at the mayfair newcastle what a night

[AmpMagMatt]

make fun of his voice and his teeth all you want - yes, he's killed himself. yes, he's not what he was. but i was at this show, and this was easily the most amazing, moving experience i've ever had at a show, and i've been to thousands.

[Ancupola]

All great artists and performers have flaws and so I agree with you that this is a superb and creative event. He is not like the picture perfect fly by night mass produced crap. He is REAL

[seamusmary]

live on shane

[MashAshAsh]

His voice ain't what it used to be :/

[smellyslag]

manky teeth shane...urgh

[SAF57]

wow am I glad that someone else thinks that too... First of all I am out-of-time, as I had only heard OF them never heard them before. But WHAT IS WITH THE TEETH?!?!? and sorry, folks, but he's off key in so many of the videos. ... :-(

[satanigatan]

Gonna see them in Sweden at Way out West, a dream come true...

[chowderhead]

Damn! I was there the previous night and they didn't do this song! Shane Lives!

[hebert777]

Who is the woman?

[tipsy50]

Ella Finer, daughter of Jem

[jlp58mjp]

holy crap.... man i wish i was there

[bukem06]

I can see a better time when all OUR dreams come true - fucking retard.

[skaguy102]

I can see a better time when all are dreams come true
