ECT is electroconvulsive therapy. Basically inducing a seizure with electrodes in an attempt to 'reset' the brain. Still used for severe depression and certain other syndromes that are not responding to other treatments.

Would be administered in a mental health centre, where other patients were treated with sedatives etc., hence the 'drugged up psychos with death in their eyes'

[roberts1966]

@Rugby1989Scot

They give you a general anaesthetic nowadays too.  In a modern hospital with trained staff and rescusitation facilities available. But it is still fucking barbaric.

[laboheme26]

A bugger to damnation and I haven' t got a penny to wander the dark streets of London

"Bugger to the nation

And I havent got a penny

To wander the dark streets of london"

[babeltrot]

@LazerNo1 it's "Buggered to damnation..." i.e. 'I'm F'd!"

[DinaBandhuDasa]

You can say from Shane whatever you want, but he sure knows how to make great songs.

[praskovia13]

Shane always makes death seem like a relative u try to dodge, but if u meet them it's ok, however he often makes u feel it might just scare the hell outta ya

[emma5977]

emerald, old fruit. - You must be a felless

[Moeggel3000]

love this song since my childhood. Thanks for posting.

[bluzer1]

[philipharris]

This is a fucking *great* song

[alimohsin2005]

It can't get any better than this

[mutley5019]

Nice counterpoint to this is 'London your a lady'

'...thats where you lose your pain, just then you open up my love and sparkle once again.' to the tune of limerick your a lady I think, i'm sure I'll be corrected.....

[vampiregirlgbg]

Love The Pouges and Shane, all you people could have a bad live....But I hope you have a better life than Shane... Love you Shane.........

[danielthomasslade]

plastic paddy.

[prolo67]

@daniel

how does it feel to be a complete and utter prick?

[danielthomasslade]

@prolo67 dunno, ask shane macgowan, or any other poor little rich kid.

[prolo67]

@daniel

shane is a genius.

he might have been bred in england,

is that HIS fault?

he wrote some LASTING songs,my friend,and your opinion won´t change an single poopshit about it.

now go back to your american psychatrist.

slob

[danielthomasslade]

dont take it so personal, i never said anything about his music & im irish, living in ireland, never been to america. chill out, your heading for a heart attack!

[praskovia13]

talking of American therapy, did u see Gabriel Byrne 'in treatment' he plays a therapist needing thereapy coz he's lost patience with his patients, lol, GB the Pogues

[prolo67]

@dan

armer vollhorst

ECT is Electroconvulsive Therapy

[ancientcian]

what does "ECT" stand for?

[praskovia13]

its in the film one flew over the cuckoo s nest, jack nicholson does it great, its electric convulsion therapy

[ancientcian]

no way! i saw that movie. great movie, but i guess i didnt notice this song in it.

[praskovia13]

hello there ancient, i might not have made myself clear, ECT is electric convulsive therapy, jack nicholson was forced to have it in the one flew.................... film, happy new year to u ancient

[ancientcian]

yeah, i know, i saw the movie. i dont know how that relates to this song though.

[praskovia13]

this song mentions ect

[paulmeng77]

shane received ect in his youth. his autobiography is a really good read and normally pretty cheap. check it out.

[ancientcian]

that sounds interesting. i will.

[MARKO8885VTC]

best song ever really a clasic beutifull also my best pouges song sorry if i spelled something wrong and cheers from croatia irish music is the best in the world honestly i just love irish music adore i love ireland don`t know why i love ireland like my second home cheers from croatia:)

[gillianzz62]

Gawd, saw these guys for 50p at the Hope

which was about the size of a postage stamp. This song was about my life back then. I even lived near Hammersmith Broadway. and I 'didn't have a penny' but had brilliant fun 'wandering the dark streets of London". Ahh, thanks for the memories.

[marinarettina]

I love Ireland from the bottom of my heart.

[dtanner1082]

Top fucking song!

[owenlogue]

class song. seen the pogues christmas tour in dublin in 2008, best gig ever been to in my life

[Vancat]

Whis I was there...

[romperstompist]

Whos up for a summer drink??!!

[wisard734]

cheers to that!

[mortimeruk]

This is one of the best songs there is! I love it!!

[Sasamabab]

Yeah probably does, and it is such an awesome song (not that their other music isnt, of course) :-)

[Wowbagger86]

I guess it deals with Shane MacGowans mental problems and hospitalising as a teenager...

[Wowbagger86]

It's a great song.. but I find it really weird what a feelgood tune this is, when the lyrics are just dark and depressive ;)

[Hollandia777]

It simply cannot be more irish...

[general081]

This is a truly beautiful song.

[romperstompist]

damn this song brings me up from whatever im feeling in life i just pour some whiskey and sit back.

[francoamerican99]

pure nostalgia........i love it.......

[ScottInVa1760]

GREAT song!! Thanks for posting!

[Morthund]

i love it so much that i drink a toast.

[zomg989]

just three words: The Pogues OWN!

[josh414]

love this tune

[pirinegros]

That was the first song I heard of this band. Since then they have been one of my favourites.

[lanceconklin1971]

God bless the Pogues boysn girls.

The Filthy Thieving bastards played last night here in carlsbad Ca. with spider stacy and did a few covers and was terrific...

Check them out.

Cheers big ears!.....

[bigboredthing]

tell you what, Red Roses For Me is, by a long, long way, the greatest chunk of music the pogues ever put out.

[bagies]

Im an pisshead great son haaaaaaaaaaha

[praskovia13]

i give em money n go get them some food too, breaks me heart to see them, gb all on the streets tonigh, n ppl dont be looking down on them WE R ALL HUMAN and have a right to be here, peace to all

[dbx42dot1]

don´t walk by pretending you don´t see them, spare at least a pint and get your karma growing...cheers.

[modeck1]

One of their best - thx for putting this up. Check out the demo versh on youtube as well!

This track is the last one on the first side of the "Red Roses for Me" LP, and it was also released as a single - possibly their first(?).

The pic above is the cover of "If I Should Fall from Grace with God" LP (1988).

[fulltimepunk]

I'm with Clashboy 1977, factual accuracy is important. Plus I always thought Red Roses for Me was the best album, a band forming as it went and at its purist. Saw them in Feb 85 utterley fantastic the tiny Derby Blue Note.

[cattotti]

My first favorite was Waxies Dargle but I love the Whole package but draw the line when Shane Left [Shane Fan!]

[praskovia13]

absolutely crakin track, applicable to any day of the year, good pic too, even tho its not the one on the album, so what, still a great song, have a great day ppl

[clashboy1977]

great song. its not even on that album in the picture tho

[Reint25]

But it's a picture of The Pogues, right? ;) I think that's the reason.

[clashboy1977]

so what? he shudda used the red roses for me album cover if he really liked the pogues he should know what album its off

[Reint25]

I you really 'liked the Pogues' you shouldn't care and just enjoy the song.

Thanks for posting OztarAntoine!

[clashboy1977]
