For those who may not be able to interpret "drunken Irishman"... :) 1. I come old friend from hell tonight Across the rotting sea Nor the nails of the cross Nor the blood of christ Can bring you help this eve The dead have come to claim a debt from thee They stand outside your door Four score and three CHORUS: Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand Wailing away on the wall on the strand As you danced to the turkish song of the damned
Kirsty MacColl looks very at ease in the band. They did say once that she was like another member of the band because she seemed to fit in very well. She looks like to have fun too
I'm a hungarian. I'm listening Pogues about 30 years ago. I'm wondering about myself. Am i normal? But what to do if "Young Ned of the Hill" is one of the best melody i ever heard?
2. You remember when the ship went down You left me on the deck The captain's corpse jumped up And threw his arms around my neck For all these years I've had him on my back This debt cannot be paid with all your jack 3. And as I sit and talk to you I see your face go white This shadow hanging over me Is no trick of the light The spectre on my back will soon be free The dead have come to claim a debt from thee

1. I come old friend from hell tonight
Across the rotting sea
Nor the nails of the cross
Nor the blood of christ
Can bring you help this eve
The dead have come to claim a debt from thee
They stand outside your door
Four score and three
CHORUS:
Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind
Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand
Wailing away on the wall on the strand
As you danced to the turkish song of the damned

Pogues material is holding up well as the years go by
7 years later and forever beyond that, as long as humans have a taste in music
yup
As is my sons middle name after such infamous Irish legends as SHANEEEEEE
Still is
Agree
Two favourite music pieces: Turkish March and Turkish Song of the Damned ;P
Pogues live with Kirsty! Can't be beat.

But what to do if "Young Ned of the Hill" is one of the best melody i ever heard?
Ha ha, for me it's been since 1992. I'm too old to even be able to count how many years that is. ;-)
No. But neither are any fan of the Pogues!!! Celebrate it!!
Ebben az országban nem, de ez legyen a legkisebb baj!
My fave go-to, after a night of drinking and hit the sheets.. Listen to the Pogues Turkish song of the Damned 😊
R.I.P Shane
This song should have been the theme song of Game of Thrones, singing about the dead have come to clain a debt from thee
fuckin incredible...just love this man..(swoons..)..
Shane McGowan...!!!!!!LEGEND!!!!!
Shane's..... so..... drunk........
You sound surprised
R I P SHANE
I am a tad drunk and thinking lovingly of Shane and all the INCREDIBLE music of The Pogues! Lord luv The Irish. Hugs from Canada
2. You remember when the ship went down
You left me on the deck
The captain's corpse jumped up
And threw his arms around my neck
For all these years I've had him on my back
This debt cannot be paid with all your jack
3. And as I sit and talk to you I see your face go white
This shadow hanging over me
Is no trick of the light
The spectre on my back will soon be free
The dead have come to claim a debt from thee
Kristy!
One of my Top 5 fave Pogues' sins! 🙃
Shane at 2:51... priceless
Fucking sad to see all those musicians going off, and then there's their "leading man" too drunk to even stand
they make a Mexican band sound like the London philharmonic orchestra
Shane sounds like rammstein
waw
dysfunctional? they're kicking ass playing
Shane McGowan, the Pogues' leading alcoholic. :D
I saw them during this period I reckon they were at their best then. When Terry Woods came into the group
Definitely their creative peak too
Terry Woods and Phil Chevron, too.
It sounds Egyptian at the beginning.
It's probably Turkish as the the name of the song suggests...
@@jamesmacoisdealbhaigh9904 that too
Rest in peace now Shane..!
❤
a 57 piges... je trouve toujours ça excellent... ma jeunesse.!!!!
Pogues siete leggenda :))))))))))))
Holy shit, his teeth!!!!
This song is presented to you by Colgate. 😁
This is fucking mind blowing.
