The Pogues - The Body of an American Lyrics

This is the forth in a series of simple music videos that include the lyrics to some of the best Pogues songs. The Pogues play traditional Irish music with influences from punk rock. While the actual sound of this music is outstanding, the lyrics are normally incredible and the work of a genius, Shane MacGowan. However many people, particularly those from outside of Ireland, sometimes struggle to make out these excellent lyrics. This series of videos aims to provide these lyrics and hopefully enhance everyones enjoyment of this superb music even further.

He was the black sheep. A permanent pariah. He asked no quarter of the bosses and none was given. He learned no lessons. He acknowledged no mistakes. He was as stubborn a Mick as ever stumbled out of the northeast parishes to take a patrolman shield. He brooked no authority. He did what he wanted to do and he said what he wanted to say. In the end, he gave you the clearances. He was natural PO-lice.

a tribute beyond compare, to a people who took their oppurtunities despite hatred from others. Irish didnt cry, irish who used their brains and brawn, to this day the greatest struggle agianst a foriegn and WHITE aggresor, a piece of inconsequentioal shit, the irish will never give up on this small 6 county piece. despite american libberals and conservatives, irish true will always advance the cause.

@pilesOG because all the other gowls are a buncha cunts

[ChimeraAZ]

Oh,..what I meant was that Native Americans are discriminated against in the US,as well as other people,so it would be rather hypocritical of me to speak like a racist.Also,ya know,its a racist thing to call someone a Cracker too.Just sayin,..

[pilesOG]

@ChimeraAZ I agree you did not say anything racist but how does being native american mean you cannot be racist? Kinda annoying for crackers that only they can be racist. Irish people some of the whitest and most discriminated just saying....

[ChimeraAZ]

andersonnonono -and just where did your feeble little brain pick up on my being a racist?be interesting if you could tell me.Lol! Not a word about anyone's race in there,other than Shane's Nationality.LOL! We ALL know that Shane is of Irish blood,that has never been the question.It's always does he claim to be Irish or English in NATIONALITY. To be a racist,I would have had to diss him for being born of Irish blood,which I didnt.How funny! Me,a racist.I'm part Native American.

@ChimeraAZ +you racist
