"He came up, on the left, like a streak of light; like a drunken fuck on a Saturday night, up came the Bottle of Smoke!" Hell, motherfucking yes, Shane!
one doesn't even begin to tap into creative musical genius until your completely fucked up.goes hand n hand,we wouldn't have half the mad sounds we enjoy without states of ...insanity
Hahaha! I'm a huge fan of Shane and The Pogues. Saw them live a few times. I can assure you Shane took every drug under the sun. Do you not remember the very public row between Shane and Sinead O Connor? She reported him to police in London for having heroin in his house after he took it in front of he. She did it to save his life. I believe he's off heroin and crack now though. Saw him on the 5th of December in Dublin and he was in pretty good shape.
feking brilliant boys, what a tune..

The moon is clear, the sky is bright
I'm happy as the horse's shite
Up the bottle of smoke"
Sheer genius.
