I spent a night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed, me watch was new and me money too in the morning with them she fled and as I walked the streets about the whores they all did say "There goes Jack Splatt he poor sailor lad, he must go to sea once more.". . "Take my advice drink no strong drink, don't go sleeping with them whores, get married instead and spend all night in bed." LOL Love the music, Love the lyrics.
my favorite Luke Kelly song he sings with such passion it makes u think he was a fisherman working the sea and telling u one of his own storys wot a legend RIP
@marcira1988 I agree,but Luke sung many more songs with equal passion!.
It is odd now to me to think that if he was still with us,he would be nearly 70 years old.He was at this time the greatest Irish musician by far,but then he died,and left us all at the mercy of Bono.
@neohip bono is tax dodger,an agent for monsantos deaths.bono loves the nazi government in israel that drags the name of jews ture the mud,.................................fuck bono hom much money did he make off bloody sunday??? where is bono when ireland is dieing??licking fed and imf boots...death to bono
@anthonybarrett79 I may be biased,but U2 have always supported my country on a regular basis.
I am not a huge fan,but I don't understand the hostility!.
Just today,a major touring Irish artist told us here that instead of wooden St. Patrick statues,the modern Irish go abroad now with little statures of Bono,in the hope of finding love!.

@mirekm111 I couldn't agree more, also, you could swap around the first two words and the sentiment would still be so true, this man is awesome, just awesome! :)
neoship, you are not well in the head. Your personal anger reflects no happiness in your life. It has nothing to do with Bono

@TheAwaken2012 .
I know.
I love Bono's humanitarianism,though I don't always agree with his views.
But as far as musical talent goes,he is not even as good as Luke's moustache comb.

@anthonybarrett79
That is a little...harsh!.
Here,on a Luke Kelly clip,I made a comparison that I thought musically appropriate.
You are saying that because Bono is an arsehole ,and hasn't fixed the Irish economy ,that should die?.
He's just a singer in a Rock Band!.
I think he is a great humanitarian,a statesman, and has huge balls.
We all have the power that he wields,but he is listened to because of his integrity.
It is only in musical terms that I express my disappointment !.
