- 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
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
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
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
McGowan was quite honestly a genius writer
RIP Joe Strummer and Shane MacGowan
I am proud.. i live in the same city where he was born “Ankara
I knew his father was a diplomat. Is that where he was born?
I Stand Alone Yes
Joe filled in for Shane when he was in rehab saw them at The Ritz it was a unique experience having seen the Pogues a couple times already R.I.P. Joe
Strummer rcorded and produced Hells Ditch as he was a great friend of most of the band members. So, when Shane got "indisposed" they asked him to sing. Different voices, different song techniques - of course. At least he didnt try to copy Shane, but did it his own way. He had already filled in for Phil Chevron on guitar when the Pogues toured the US in 88 and said that was worse.....
they were great shows back in the day.saw em in stadium,dublin.who the hell else cud av stepped into mcgowans shoes
It's not a Pogues cover, It's The Pogues with Joe Strummer singing.
It was a sick tour of all the people to fill in for Shane I was blown away saw the Pogues a couple times before it was a memorable show for sure they rocked the Ritz
This is insane!!!
Super
Thank you!
You are welcome!
❤
ahahaha, just the pogues with joe strummer bahahaha
Where was Shaine?
Shane was (temporarily) booted from the band right before the US tour started. Joe gamely stepped in. He had toured with them once before, filling in on guitar for Philip Chevron, who had broken his hand.
Drying out😂😂
Strummer doesn't fit in.
