[spikie852]

Clear something up for me, is the first part set back in the redcoat days or the early 20th century?

[chealy349]

@spikie852 18th and 19th centuries.

[BigReid85]

@spikie852 it refers to "flanders" and "trenches" and "kaki" so im guessing that it is refering to the first world war 1914-18

[loquayrocks]

@BigReid85

Yup, its an anti conscription song from the great war

[rennina93]

ehr...does anybody know if a piece of this song (1:51) was taken for the movie "Sherlock Holmes" with Robert Downey and Jude Law?

It sounds me but I'm not sure...

[chealy349]

@rennina93 Yes, that part is called Rock Road To Dublin

[rennina93]

@chealy349

thank you! ;)

[petercrouch67]

@rennina93

That's a traditional slip jig called "Rocky Road to Dublin" whcih lyrics were added to.

The version in Sherlock holmes was the Dubliners (Luke Kelly on vocals)

[rennina93]

@petercrouch67

[tomphat246]

BEST SONG

[slayer1944]

What a song! I'm really sorry Shane, that he screwed his life. Very talented guy. I very love this song! Best christmas and best song! The whole family love it!

[petercrouch67]

He didn't screw up his life.

Without alcohol and drugs we wouldn't have the majority of pogues songs, and at the end of the day he learned his lesson (to some extent) and is still touring and sounding great.

Long live MacGowan (he's already done a brave good job of it)

[JamesD423]

you say he screwed his life, but I wonder if shane would be shane without everything he's gone though? It is like imagining what hemmingway would be if he weren't drinking all the time. That's the tragedy of Shane; would he be Shane if it weren't for all the influences (namely booze) that made Shane?

[IronHarper]

"And (me?) father well contented and he gazing at his daughter"..

Erm, what? Anyone?

[meadowsprite]

I've wondered that very same thing. Could it mean his daughter is a hooker and she's doing well at it and he gets her money (I hope not)?

[JamesD423]

I could be very well off, but I see that line as sort of a James Joycean statement about the "paralysis" of irish civilization during this timeframe (early 20th century). I think it is, indeed, meant to illustrate a father looking on (almost serving as a pimp) as his daughter prostitutes herself out to all the people in town for the races to earn money for the family.

[haavarl]

@IronHarper

They are pelting wattles at poor Mary, and her father's contended at observing this.

Though I can't really tell why they'd be pelting wattles. A common thing to do at fairs?

[timananda]

Loved this when it first came out, and still do! Still sounds great!

[morgasm616]

i fukin love the pouges i fukin love ireland i fukin love the irish i fukkin love the welsh and i fukin love beer so all i got to sa is LETS GET PISSED

[IronHarper]

[Vancat]

Long live Ireland...!!!

[040469ian]

"there were others without scruple peltin' wattles at poor maggie!" ..... i love this tune!

[SarahLynnM]

Your dad's is the original cover. It's a picture of James Joyce in the center. The member of the Pogues are superimposed over it on either side of him.
