Finally bought some Pouges.
Well after hearing everybody here rave about Shane I had to go out and pick up a Pouges CD. I was looking for Rum, Sodomy and the Lash but they didn't have that, so I got If I should Fall from Grace with God. Incredible fuckin album. I will soon purchase many more.

My favorite song from that album
Fairytale Of New York
------Pogues
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day

Yeah, how can you not love that one? The whole album is incredible, but that of course sticks out. The lady sininging in that is great.

On a more sombre note, I propose a toast to the late and dearly lamented Kirsty MacColl.
Sláinte. You are missed.

Aye, Kirsty will be missed. Check out her back catalogue. It's well worth it.

I'll definately have to look for it. From "Fairytale" alone I'm already a fan of hers.jbraynolds wrote:There's a Kirsty compilation cd, "The One and Only" that came out not too long ago that's fabulous, all the good stuff.

Waxie's Dargle on that one is such a beautiful melody.

I pulled my shit together and bought me some Pogues today
Why didn't I do this earlier? They make me wanna grab a big pint of beer in each hand and stand up on a table to scream in a crowded pub!
Also, this is the stuff you have to memorize, perfect for singing in the night on the way home from a hard drinking session

This is my favorite album cover (and one of my favorite albums period):
