[carroghedda66]

[UncleFizzmo]

I am envious of his intelligence and talent. His liver, not so much.

[HarveyWallbangerfly]

We're all fu@#d up. Shane has lived hard in this fu*%ed up world. Long live Shane Macgowan!

[HarveyWallbangerfly]

We're all fucked up. Shane has lived hard in this fucked up world. Long live Shane Macgowan!

[fatandim]

A beautiful song, I love it!

[dannyboy342]

the melody sends shivers down me spine

[os101king]

they must have to bolt those mic stands down so he doesn't fall over.... damn, boy. Did the band have a tracking device on him to make it to shows? Or did they just strap him to a hand-truck and wheel him from gig to gig? That being said... the world will be a slightly more hollow place when the man calls him up.

[hanshotfirst1138]

@os101king Yeah, Shane's at his peak here, but you can see his downward spiral is just about to start. Still, he sounds fantastic here!

[puppetmotel]

great man!

[txbhoy]

that song and that video is incredible, wow!

[celticcrossrosaryuk]

han e för jävla bra : )

[craaaaaaazystuff]

jag älskar han.

[bertjeofhenk]

One of Shane's best songs...

[Hokowhitu76]

Absolutley beautifull. Reminds me of when I was in London and wondering from Trafalgar up in to Soho. You Poms dont realise what an excellent such historic city you have got in London. Love Shane

[STFCstoneroses]

greatest song of all time?

[leojwelch20]

Beautiful

[Sualaimachcailin]

[spidermanhiman]

[hlm0810]

Shane definately was....and still is, a lyrical genius

The Pogues are the theme tune to my life.

[thegoodfellaa]

totally agree-me too-this is the most moving and underated song-if you love this listen to Ballboy"I lost you but I found country music-EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL AND SCOTTISH

[kieranthemod]

[glenbest]

a stunning song indeed  shane is th master

[conorlovesbooze]

Shaneo best song writer ever

[BlurryEyes]

this is Shane at his best. 5 stars

[leitrimlover]

If you want to find a good(ish) academic analysis on Shane and his music try UCC academic Ciaran Keohane's work in The Irish Review. He takes the reader into the realm of post-modernism and what just McGowan was portraying, parodying even; good stuff.

[rawbite1488]

He kick Arse

[cuntyballs07]

drunk???? no way.....theres not a bother on him here actually.when he`s drunk he`s DRUNK and you`ll know it.

fuckin genius

[Cokacorla]

.....theres not a bother on him here

and there's an expression I haven't heard for years but spot on he's on form. Love it

[splitsilly]

I think the 'brothers' are like "WTF???"

[djskiiie]

Go on shane... I dare you to go on.... 10 years Younger

[Cokacorla]

And what a great wedding song... look at him ... I remember seeing him in the old London Mean Fiddler - he is a legend

[hardriffs]

hahaha i always thought this would be a good song to play at my wedding

[20031967bo]

this was our wedding song."you're the measure of my dreams." says it all really. beautiful,magical,timeless. the man is a legend

[bu77h34d]

Nice one. We used pogues & sinead o'connor singing Haunted by the Ghost, lyrics like "And now I know I never ever

Want to be without you", guy's a genius.

[memonas]

He's pretty drunk :P

[lfpalmer]

[AndyPVale]

[bnojammymulligan]

Shane McGowan is a storyteller...and he provides the music too. His stuff will live on

[MrQuiji666]

exudes persona, every member of the pogue's show extreme tallent on thier instruments, unfairly often dismised as a novelty group, great group great song, the sex pistols only slagged of the queen, these guys sing a song for the birmingham 8, punk eat your heart out.
