A gifted bard, a fragile soul, I loved his music and voice all my life, this is my favourite ballad by rhea pogues. Jesus the lyrics are gifts...you are the measure of my dreams...goodbye Shane I hope heaven is ready
His family Kirsty Sinead and Christy were waiting the bells will ring out in Heaven this Christmas Day,🇮🇪☘️🙏 condolences to Victoria Shane's family relatives and. Friends & the Pogues.. Only Shane could bring Dublin & Nenagh to a standstill. Thank you for sharing his send off with us all☘️🇮🇪
I've been loving you a long time Down all the years, down all the days And I've cried for all your troubles Smiled at your funny little ways We watched our friends grow up together And we saw them as they fell Some of them fell into Heaven Some of them fell into Hell I took shelter from a shower And I stepped into your arms On a rainy night in Soho The wind was whistling all its charms I sang you all my sorrows You told me all your joys Whatever happened to that old song? To all those little girls and boys Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning The ginger lady by my bed Covered in a cloak of silence I'd hear you talking in my head I'm not singing for the future I'm not dreaming of the past I'm not talking of the first times I never think about the last Now the song is nearly over We may never find out what it means Still there's a light I hold before me You're the measure of my dreams The measure of my dreams
What a soul sweet heart,Yes some off them fell in too heaven ,Some off them fell into hell,That has too be life ,Some can walk away,Others suffer ,God love you Shane.
Met Shane, in the Devonshire, in Camden Town, about 88. He would have always drank there. A lovely fella. My brother and my friend were all somewhat hungover, Shane gave us a wee tonic bottle, his manager always gave to him before a gig. Well it started the party again. We had a good day's craic with him. We talked about Behan, Wilde and Heaney. A day I will never forget. Because he is now in that collection of great Irish poets.
Just learned about Shane from a good friend who knows the music and the history. So sorry it took so long. This guy was incredible! I’m gonna dive deep on his life and music now, and spread the treasures.
@douglove2412 enjoy the deep dive, am doing same myself after too long also. Get ready to laugh, cry and feel all the things worth feeling that keep Life real
I love this song the lyrics are poetry I always loved the pogues and the sheer power rest in peace Shane you were a legend have a drink with my brother Michael in heaven ❤
This has to one of the greatest songs it’s everything you the sum of all you’ve given, you’re sitting watching over us from heaven you probably took the stairs from LedZ RIP great Shane you carried the greatnesses of family and countrymen

Can anyone tel me which Pogues CD/Album collection this version is from? I've listen to many YT postings of this great song, and it seems there are at least 2 or 3 versions. But, this one is the best, I think.
This is the Oboe version, released on the North American editions of the Poguetry In Motion EP, February 1986. Also included in The Pogues Box Set ; Just look them straight in the eye and say... Poguemahone!!
This lad is possibly the last of the Irish heroes.. in 200 years his words will still be with us.
the finest songwriter ever to walk the earth, this is only my opinion, better than even bob dylan
I'm sure you fell into heaven. Thank you for giving us our Irish identity.
I did not need Shane McGowan to give me an Irish Identity.
Croatia loves Ireland❤Shane, Dolores

Such a beautiful line. Lyrics in that song are wonderful.
Shane MacGowan went to hell to make sure Kissinger stayed dead. You don't get more punk than that.
An ex-Irish guy introduced me to this beautiful song ❤❤
Well said john
Those lyrics can stand alongside the works of the greatest Irish poets for lifetimes to come. Reat easy Shane.
Omg 60 and I have only just found the pogues I think you flew to heaven ❤
Just FANDABEDOZZY..xx
Better late than never...
Straight up, first class 😊
Found the SMITHS yet...
Knew them well. Some sessions 🍷♥️
Too many drunken nights listening to the pogues. Now I'm raining out of my face x
true..
Don't fret babe ,I'm not only crying but bleeding from my hart xxx
I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys
Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning
The ginger lady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I'd hear you talking in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the first times
I never think about the last
Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams
Thank you. Just beautiful. 💘
❤
A Poet & musical Genius,🇮🇪☘️

What a soul sweet heart,Yes some off them fell in too heaven ,Some off them fell into hell,That has too be life ,Some can walk away,Others suffer ,God love you Shane.
Rest in peace thank you for the stories you left behind sometimes they make me cry and laugh too you'll never be gone ❤
