even if thats true that nobody can or ever will sing them like Shane. . . they are timeless and i just learned this one and plan to do it in sebastopol ca usa open mic on piano soon beauce these songs ARE timeless as any ever written by dylan or Anon etc.. Shane Mcgowen and the Pogues we are not worthy . . i thank you and my grandmother one A. Mcguire b. 1600 Ireland d. 1632 Massachusits thanks you for me remembering her brown eyes . . .
Shane Magowan was born in Tunbridge Wells in Kent and attended a posh prep school. He then went to Ireland as you say and then returned to England and attended the same public school as Andrew Lloyd Weber. His accent is what we Londoners refer to as Mockney. A faux cockney accent used by middle class people to appear more street cred. He comes from a priveledged background.
I remember in his punk days he wore a Union jack jacket.
GIVINITTHEBIGUN i agree searched for it and even have the original music video saved in my channel but it fucking says video unavailable keep her lit my friend i just wanted to livicate this song to my cousin who commited sucide this time last year he was a legend r.i.p
When wasn't he? I don't mean to insult him and he is without question a genius.. but he is also one of the most self destructive people this planet has ever seen. He has made it through till now, and there's no reason why he can't make it through to the future. The only thing uncertain are his teeth. I have no idea what state of deterioration they're presently in.
hstoricay the irish are more engish than the english....with each invasion of england...romans,normans et al...the english moved more north and west....go west you gonna run into the irish sea,.....wales or the sea(no offence you welsh)
@yarbloko132 actually he was born in tipperary and lived on a farm when he was a young lad, he then moved 2 london and grew up there, but he's irish through an through..
Shane writes songs that will haunt you forever; they are classics, and yet I can't bear to hear anybody but Shane sing them; they are just too personally his and nobody can do them justice but him.
