why are all americans considered yanks? the yanks are in the northern part of america if you call someone a yank who is from the south be prepared to get in a fight.
Why do rebels still care? The idiots LOST the war. It speaks volumes for their intelligence that they're PROUD to be LOSERS..... Maybe if it was the revolutionary war they'd have something to be proud of. Haven't met a reb yet that wasn't a racist.....
Great to see Shane in his prime ... The guy is a genius..... thanks for so much such great music and lyrics... I suppose it's all in the words.....[Christ is he chewing a piece of gum while singing throughout the song!..]
there is a cover of this song in croatian language it's called poštar lakog sna (postman with light dreams - something like that) by pips, chips & videoclips it's good cover in croatia they are popular
Wasted his talent??? You're kidding right - the man is recognised the world over as a genius! Songs such as this will still be sung in hundreds of years, not bad for a waste of talent eh?!
Love you shane, great song xxx

If you're outside America, all Americans are Yankees. If you're in America, obviously, you know the regional differences.

What a mega talented singer/songwriter, fucking legend - ignore his battle with the bottle demons, judge him by his collection of 'classic' songs.

Sorry that your glass is half empty-better to focus on what his talent did realise methinks.

Really though, McGowan's the best songwriter to come out of England or Ireland.
