How does this shite have more views than the official video?

[OztarAntoine]

@jstohler Well, I posted that video a couple of years before the video. I also prefer the video clip but anyway mate, who really gives a shit about who's having the more views ? Pogues rules ! Cheers

[antiardilla]

Thanks for the paste the lirycs.

[Remora554]

Only Shane could make the ugly and common so beautiful and poetic. What a genius!

[irishprideyank]

Reminds me of when I lived in Ireland as a kid.

Man this song makes me proud to be 100% Irish even though it's got nothing to do with Ireland.

[SuperDsweeney]

@irishprideyank Well it does contain the line " where the Paddys and the frogs, game to gamble on the dogs.." which is about the Irish and presumably the French. The tune is, of course, " The Curragh of kildare ".

[connaught2008]

Oh the torn up ticket stubs

from a hundred thousand mugs

now washed away with dead dreams in the rain...........LOVE IT

[leamingto]

SCTLAND NUMBER ONE

[tommytee123]

This would bring a tear to a glasseye, one of the most authentic and talented bands of our time

[MARCUS707070]

Absolutely top notch. MacGowan at his best. Reminds me of fond times in college.

[danthemanSTFC]

possibly the best ever song by the pogues, it's got such a great London feel to it.

[poolpig]

Ive never been to London but God how I love it!

[gregwyatt46]

London's a dirty old town, but it's one that all should visit. White City was where they held the 1908 Olympics. It then became a dog-racing track. And then it was pulled down.

Its lasting claim to fame is that the distance for the marathon is the distance from Windsor Castle to White City.

[poolpig]

Shame to lose history like that

[spunkkey]

great song great band great man just.......... great

[lordponcenburyshire]

My favourite pogues song
