RIP Shane McGowan. A genius, a legend and a poet that will never be seen again. Heart goes out to his loved ones, Victoria the measure of his dreams, his Father and sister and the rest of his family. Sad day.
Been listening to this none stop for the past 9 hours after hearing of shanes passing, love this tune... some of the best stuff he did (unpopular opinion)
To me, this sounds very much like the very great Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Birds, The Cars with the vocals a lot like the might Willy DeVille also like Elvis, I mean Elvis Costello, Shane put that that in your pipe and smoke if you do not agree with those facts, still a great rocking song from the future master poet,/wordsmith, songwriter, singer. frontman and a friend to all Mr Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan
It surely does. Then they did undeniable punk rock classics like 'so pissed off' and ' stupid cow' . Johnny Moped did 'hard loving man''. Also 'darling let's have another baby'.Punk was bit more variable back then I suppose
Lol. As much as I love The Cars, they were a litigious bunch. There was a local new wave band in South Florida in the early 80’s that had an awesome song called “Shake It Up”, and The Cars actually sued them over rights to the name. The first time I heard this, I wanted to punch Ric Ocasek.
I wish I would be born in that Century so I could have lived the whole Punk Scene from the Start, and listen to the good Music. I would love to listen to Shane MacGowan and the Pogues or The Nips Live... Man im born in the wrong time
On the other hand, you managed to miss peak Light Ent noncedom, the tail end of Love Thy Neighbour, 'Watch your backs, lads!', and everybody bloody smoking bloody everywhere. Odd, interstitial, mixed-bag sort of era, with more than its share of tack and shod.
Let's go into the old West End Where we used to go when you were my girlfriend Take a seven and breeze through the city With you sitting there, looking so pretty I'd take you where you could shake it down, now To the rocking part of town A shake it up A shake it up A shake it up A shake it up A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle Let's go into the old West End Where we used to go when you were my girlfriend Take a seven and breeze through the city With you sitting there, looking so pretty And though you'd never want to stay that way I can still remember those crazy days We'd dance all night and sleep all day In the old West End everybody was dancing Dancing And though you'd never want to stay that way I can still remember those crazy days We'd dance all night and sleep all day In the old West End everybody was dancing Dancing Do you remember?

Very Clash. Punk for the slightly out of tune guitar. Cutting his teeth songwriting, both the teeth and songwriting went on from here! One wonders if there was a relationship betwixt the two, one downward t'other upward!! Great tune with memories attached.
Yeah I'm a Yank so I'm not supposed to understand, but man mods are gay. Ride a dirt bike not a toy scooter. & Fuck your fancy clothes & stupid bowl cut hair. Looks like a miserable time

And you are not at all alone with this! Right with you.
love the little funk guitar nod to funky town what a song.
It really sounds like Elvis Costello, but better. Also reminds me of The Cars' 'My Best Friend's Girl'. Love it !
The opening sounds like Wild Thing by the Troggs.
Take the 73 bus from Kings Cross to the West end. My life as a teenager.
Wonderful song! ;)
i love all the old pictures of Shane!
Can I like this twice?
Rest in peace Shane you legend
😢
Look! Teeth! Great song!

Let's go into the old West End
Where we used to go when you were my girlfriend
Take a seven and breeze through the city
With you sitting there, looking so pretty
I'd take you where you could shake it down, now
To the rocking part of town
A shake it up
A shake it up
A shake it up
A shake it up
A shake it up Gab-Gab-Gab-Gabrielle

And though you'd never want to stay that way
I can still remember those crazy days
We'd dance all night and sleep all day
In the old West End everybody was dancing
Dancing

When Shane was a mod...
Sounds like it could have come out of Boston. Hm..
@Ionwhite everyone had a mod phase, lol.
Thank god pop music was not the true calling.
Who’s singing this tune, is it Shane?
Yes it's Shane singing.
Andrew Shaw thanks
Feckin Class
2:05-2:06 on the bottom looks like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory
Rip Shane
Shane kinda sounds like Elvis Costello haha
About 20 years before Greenday. Amadáin American....
oi oi.
Where did all the pictures come from?
0:55..I saw Sheldon....bazinga...
Not bad
Grinny from Skrewdriver was in their line up at one stage.
Richard Hughes before he was a Nazi?
Paddy Mac Yes. He was in the 1977 apolitical line up. Sadly, he did become a Nazi later on.
He plays drums on this single.

Lost a bit of hope when Shane got his teeth done. 🖖🌱
lol
you can almost forget the awesome "fuck all" character he was.......if you stare too long into the shell of a man he is now....sad really.
We all become a shell of ourselves when we get old brother.
never knew that Shane had a Mod phase! I miss Christy (RIP)
Yeah I'm a Yank so I'm not supposed to understand, but man mods are gay. Ride a dirt bike not a toy scooter. & Fuck your fancy clothes & stupid bowl cut hair. Looks like a miserable time
@@georgeadams5390 😂
He never did
He was well into northern soul, it was what made him gel with Paul Weller in those early days.
