"The torn up ticket stubs of a hundred mugs, now washed away like dead dreams in the rain." How poetic is that line ? Genius "Shane" ! R.I.P😥
My favorite line is from Rainy Night in Soho: “You’re the measure of my dreams.”
Not only poetic but succinct and profound. Shane and the Pogues were like the equivalent of Bob Dylan and The Rolling Thunder Review when Bob was in his prime. Shane was such an incredible, relatively unknown songwriter despite his slow burn rise to international fame and recognition almost by obscure word of mouth in the US. An older friend turned me on to the Pogues in the early ‘90’s at military school. I imagine in Ireland and the UK it was a bit different and they were on the telly and radio more prominently. I fell in love with every song immediately and listened to the cd’s almost nonstop.
This album introduced me to The Pogues. Rest in Peace Shane.
Either
Likewise. My gateway to the Pogues. One thing Tower Records got right, recommending these blokes.
Likewise. Back in '89 out in San Diego when I was in USN when I first bought this, on cassette! Lot of wonder under the bridge since. RIP Shane!
Best band ever rest in peace Shane sorely missed
Like Atlantis you just disappeared from view. God bless and thanks for the music
Been listening to pogues for 20 days straight. What a masterpiece this is. Rip shane you legend
Rest in peace big guy. I'll be playing your music to my kids
theyre my boys fave band
We always listen to the Pogues, and Shane in all his many musical incantations over the years, in the car.
The pogues are one of the best bands ever! Seen them in the famous barras , one of the best nights of my life! Don't get bands like that no more!
RIP Shane you legend
That was such a great song. Happy memories. You were an absolute diamond Shane. X
RIP Shane MacGowan. You’re cashing your twin trifecta up at White City greyhounds in the sky.
本当にありがとう★シェイン
大好きなホワイトシティ
カースティやフィリップ、ダリルのもとへ…安らかに
I love this album. Just realized why I have been down lately…….not enough Pogues.
RIP Legend from White city
I lived in White City for 10 years. My Mother woke up to Shane asleep on her couch in our flat ‘Wolfe Tone house’. My brother had bought him back after a drunk night 😅.
what gloriously textured instrumentation and arrangement. and Shane's voice has so much texture as well. plus, his little dance! i can't get enough of this.
Life has been better because of Saint Shane MacGowan ☘️🚬🥂🖤
Fully agree. Incredible song.
@@danielosullivan3110 On this day he really did become a Saint, Have a great party up there Shane!!
Brilliantly stated 👍R.I.P Shane !
Their masterpiece, if you ask me.
Shane is a feckin genius !, Fantastic songwriter
The winter it is past, the summer’s come at last, the birds they are singing in the trees, their little hearts are glad, but mine is very sad, for my true love is far away from me….same air as curragh of Kildare
Rest in peace our beloved bard and poet, may the whisky they pour on the other side will wash down all your thirst.
RIP Shane ❤
Love this 💚🍀
There were popular here in France.
Now when I wear a Pogues t-shirt , nobody but old winos in the streets come to me about this band.
Do I have to learn something about this situation?
Oh, fuck-I'm going to have a beer.
And sorry for my bad english.
Oi me bro much love only 31 buy this is my band much respect to France
Who remembers Les Negresses Vertes? A Pogues influenced French group, it seemed-I had their record.
@@surfercrow they are still popular in France, dispite the fact that singer Helno died.
Shane, a lyrical genius xx
Very nostalgic song from the album PEACE AND LOVE dedicated to London (White City).
The song tells about a place where it was celebrated races of dogs and now "paddies and the frogs came to gamble on the dogs".
Congratulations to Shane McGowan for this excelent song.
Here a tower shinning bright
Once stood gleaming in the night
Where now there's just the rubble in the hole
Here the paddies and the frogs
Came to gamble on the dogs
Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago
Oh the torn up ticket stubs
From a hundred thousand mugs
Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain
And the car-parks going up
And they're pulling down the pubs
And its just another bloody rainy day
Oh sweet city of my dreams
Of speed and skill and schemes
Like Atlantis you just disappeared from view
And the hare upon the wire
Has been burnt upon your pyre
Like the black dog that once raced out from trap two
Please note that the album was dedicated to the memory of the 95 people who died at Hillsborough Football Ground.

Forgive me by contradicting you, but the Pogues components, Philip Chevron and Darryl Hunt witnessed the horrible Hillsborough disaster, but WHITE CITY is composed by Shane McGowan.
White City is a place in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, to the north of Shepherd's Bush.
The area now called White City was level arable farmfields until 1908 when it was used as the site of the Summer Olympics. In 1909 hosted the "Imperial International Exhibition" and in 1910, the Japan-British Exhibition. The final two exhibitions to be held there were the "Latin-British" (1912) and the "Anglo-American" (1914). During this period it was known as the "Great White City" due to the white marble cladding used on the exhibition pavilions, and hence gave its name to this part of Shepherd's Bush.
The White City Stadium in the north of the area, known as the Great Stadium, was opened in 1908 for the Olympics. After the Olympics, it continued to be used for athletics until 1914, and was later turned into a greyhound racing track.
The stadium was demolished in 1985, the album PACE AND LOVE, was launched in 1989.
RIP Shane
Good ol' West London. Great tribute
read Jimmy Fearnley's book "here comes everyone". awesome for any pogues fan. Shane was becoming increasingly difficult at this time and the band members were getting fed up. Still, best band ever
I wish I was listening to these guys when I really appreciated music
GENIUS. Just no other word.
Ah isn't it just great. It really does not get any better.
Seriously underrated
100%.
Home sweet home❤
Absolutely wonderful. The best group of the world.
Valencian Country.
BRILLIANT!!! I miss The Pogues!
What makes this so great is that, clearly, he - like me has spent years on the terraces at the City desperate for his dog to come in. Lost days.
Oh sweet of my dreams
Of speed and skill and schemes
unbelievable writing
My favorite group and my favorite song.
RIP Darryl x
The curragh of Kildare 🙌
Peace & Love was not a good as If I Should Fall From Grace, but it is still a fantastic album. I bought the cassette (yes, cassette :-D) as a 13 year-old after seeing he White City video on MTV's 120 Minutes, and I have never looked back. The Pogues are one of the greatest bands in history, and Shane is one of the greatest lyricists ever. Love this song, love the band, great memories.
heavy rotation on 120 for sure.....I remember I hated it when I first heard it but it grew and grew on me, and now I love it....
I loved this album from day one, very interesting mix of rhythms between songs.
No chorus - absolutely brilliant
You don't hear many songs about greyhound tracks. Brilliant
"Oh the torn up ticket stubs / From a hundred thousand mugs / Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain"
Shane was a hell of a poet...
And the car parks going up, and they're pulling down the pubs, and it's just another body rainy day.
@@jdishner If you didnt' post it it I would have mate , great minds eh !
A touch of blade runner there too…
God Bless The Pogues!
Just heard The Bad News. R.I.P Shane xxx.Please Give Kirsty A Kiss from Me also xxx.
Big-Up to the West London Irish (1950 - 85)
Many a Taxi I took up to White City from Shepherds Bush and then walked home !!!!
Me encanta este tema. Lo oyes y te dan ganas de volverlo a oír una vez más. Maravilloso ese coro de voces y el bailecito de Shane. Si no fuera español me habría gustado ser irlandes
MASTERPIECE
Good affectionate tribute to White City, west London.
YES. BEST VERSION. THE WOOS!
I can't listen to the song without them now.
@@squitlawless Any idea where to find a high quality version? Digital or physical? I'm not sure what release this version was on.
Yessssss I agree with you all. They add an wonderful ambiance too the overall song and feeling, especially at the end.
I can't find a high quality version with the woos unfortunately.
@@squitlawless try the very best of the pogues album I'm sure they are on that
RIP Phil Chevron.....
I didn't know he had passed away. RIP
I’m learning this on my accordion!
Excellent song, excellent video
Thanks so much. I made this right after leaving college. We even shot most of it at my college.
This reminds me, of only good things in life
Wonderful!
Love this song!!
I'd love to write a song like this dedicated to the memory of Finchley Open Air Pool (that was pulled down in the 1990s)
Bass guitar
Tin whistle
Drums
Accordion
Banjo
Octave mandolin
Cittern or Bouzouki, not really an octave mandolin {{though they're both tuned in fifths with 8 strings arranged in 4 courses}}
@@isetta4083 they're all members of the same family.
😂😅😮😢❤❤❤❤❤Shane. R.i.p . 😊😊😊
Joy!
the best
White City - buried under the Beeb. Thanks.
An old folk tune.....Cullah of Kildare
Wunderbar! Ruhe in Frieden Shane
does anybody remember them performing on st. Patrick's Day on Saturday Night Live way back in the day. I'm trying to figure out which show that was for nostalgic purposes. I could never forget that performance even though I was pretty young. this guy just looked absolutely smashed and I loved it
St Patrick's Day, 1990. Host was Rob Lowe. They did White City and Body of an American. Perfection.
Denis Miller's reaction to that performance on the news part was "I like the Pogues, but I also really like lyrics."
Yep...watched it that night
That’s how I discovered them!!!!!
The SNL performance was my introduction to them as well! I was in the 7th grade. Me and my mom kept referring to Shane as "The Wolf Man." Fast forward to Easter 1992, my mom went into Middle Earth Records and heard "The Sunnyside Of The Street" playing on their system. She brought home "The Essential Pogues" collection on cassette. We suddenly realized it was the same band that we had seen on SNL a few years before!
Thats the man.....
Goodbye Shane, my hero since I was 12, am sat here now at 50 listening to this lyrical genius.
D.I.P.
Drink In Peace.
I found my early 20s again. Youth is wasted on the young.
🔥😎🔥
a gamble on the degs.
Authentic never lasts long enough, does it?
Shane = king of cool
“Washed away like digeridoos in the rain”
good is good
"State of Grace" brought me here jaja
State of Grace brought me here
Ripose In Pace Shane from Corsica
does anyone notice the 6th finger on the boxers right hand at the very end
Noticed it in the end of 1999. After having the CD for more than a year.
streets of sorrow
NY
This song was playing in the beginning of the movie State of Grace when Sean Penn walked in the pub . 🍀🌉🎵🎶😎🍀
Slán le finscéal.
Get guys RIP
The music sounds like London...
Isn’t this based on The Curragh Of Kildare?
Apparently i was in barrowland ballroom wen they 1st sang fairytale ah was drunker than shane lol
sadly the cracks in macgowan's relationship with the rest of the band were becoming ominous by the time of this album.
the pogues what else is there to say
Shane est meilleur danseur que Fred Astaire!
People who simply make music
Betting on dogs wasn't racing...to the Irish, kids
london
I GUESS ITS POGUE MAHOME
Dag Shane
It's tragic that the likes of Shane McGowan wouldn't survive the woke winter we live in today.
Beograd
He said "the dags", just like in Snatch.
Wanna buy dag?
🌚❤️🩹
Where was white city?
Near Shepherds Bush (westfield Shopping centre) area. Tube station still there.
Love it but the sound could be better. Or is it my fucking tablet?! lol
Getting old sucks for sure. But can’t no Youngblood fvck with this
Sounds a little bit like Rancid. The singer sounds like Tim Armstrong. Irish punk music.
This is good?
You don't like??? Then move along Betty!
@@Sheldon66 lol who's betty?
This song still sucks
You spend your life posting online about stuff you don't like? You are wasting your life Eric.
