    Shane Mc Gowan, who wrote this song, was buried yesterday. Shane was an Irish national treasure, and this song has now gone to No 1 in the charts . It went to No 2 before but not to no.1 until he passed during the week. Thousands lined the streets of Dublin as his funeral cortege passed, and his funeral mass was a celebration of his life, with many friends from the music world, performing his songs. We even had dancing in the church. Shane had a beautiful soul and he gave most of his money to charity as he didn't attach much importance to money. He also loved people and didn't seek out the company of celebrities. To Shane, everyone, rich or poor, was the same. RIP Shane, and thank you for leaving us such a wonderful legacy. .

    Grown men tear up when this is played, and it's sung loud and proud all over the English-speaking world...and other countries too. It's the most truthful song about how time, disappointments and the soullessness of the big city can beat down love, especially at a time when families are together and celebrating. Like a rose in a desert it needs to be nurtured, or it dies of thirst.

    I'm very late commenting about this but I'd just like to add my little bit of knowledge about this song. The Album from which it comes is called "If I should fall from grace with God" and has some absolute stormers on it. I remember reading an interview with Shane in NME and him saying there were three songs about the Irish Diaspora, including this, The Broad Majestic Shannon and, probably my favourite Pogues song, Thousands are Sailing.

      Yes, he hasn`t been healthy for many years and was confined to a wheelchair the last few years. To reach nearly 66 years of age is a mini miracle really considering the lifestyle he led. He was released from hospital last Sunday with the view of spending Christmas at home. Alas it wasn`t meant to be. But his great music will live on forever. 👍

    I love this song but my favorite Pogues song is 'A Rainy Night In SoHo'
    I DON"T consider this a Christmas song, the story is set on Christmas eve, that doesn't make it a Christmas song in the same way that 'Die-Hard' isn't a Christmas movie, it's just set at Christmas time
