Shane MacGowan and the Popes - Rock and Roll Paddy

I'm the lowest of the low
I'm the sickest of the sick
They let me out the funny farm
Just to put me in the nick
Then they let me outta the hole
Just to crush me on the dole
I'm the lowest of the low
A rockin boppin lunatic

Whack for me daddy
I'm a rock'n'roll paddy
Whack for me daddy
I'm a rock'n'roll queen
Whack for me daddy
I'm a rock'n'roll paddy
Stick another record
in the record machine

Here's to Geno, here's to Eddie
Here's to sad songs Big O sings
Here's a letter from Elvis Presley
Big Tom is still the King

I will stalk them in the back seats
I will stalk them in the bars
Rape their women and scare their children
Burn them in their brand new cars

[STRADOUKEN]

Is this the band he joined when he quit the Pogues?

[SwindonByf]

Indeed it is!

[paulpogues]

he dint quit, he got thrown out! but pogues are fuck all without shane! they did 2 albums without him, personally i like the 1st one, not the second but still there fuck all without him!

[SwindonByf]

Well let's say he was thrown out by mutual consent, he wanted tp leave the band and the band wanted him out, so it was all fairly amicable

this song was in the matchermaker quality film

[youldymcfc]

by far the best songwriter thats ever graced earth , been to watch oasis , buzzcocks , sham 69 big old and modern bands live but ivenever seen better than when i saw the pogues

[RainPoetry]

Heard this in The Matchmaker. Shane MacGowan has such a distinctive voice. Thought this was the Pogues. Love this. Irish music is so irresistible.
