Legendary.genius.poet.ate a beach boys record.would make keith richards run home pissing himself

love me some pogues/popes

Tosspint

Fall from grace

yeah,yeah,yeah

quote:

Tosspint rises early
Sprung from a nightmare's claw
Thrice crows the dawn cock
The mist is on the moor
Tosspint cries from croaking gills
Thank God I'm not forsaken
From the hellish depths of sleep
At last I am awaken

Tosspint flushed his kidneys
And rained a golden shower
Pleased to piss a good pot full
He shat upon the hour
Tosspint filled his belly
With tripe and ox's tongue
A sucking pig stuffed with figs
Into his guts he flung

Full belly and the dance is merry
Where hunger reigns no strength obtains
The wheel spins, the gurdy hums
Ring the bells and beat the drum

Tosspint drinks lustily
And pees against the sun
All around the hoary oak
The laughing maidens run
Tosspint warms his codpiece
To the flour adds the yeast
In the field by Tanner's Mill
He plays to two-backed beast

Twist the spigot, close the hole
Stoke the fire and blow the coal
The wheel spins, the gurdy hums
Ring the bells and beat the drum
Full belly and the dance is merry
Where hunger reigns no strength obtains
The wheel spins, the gurdy hums
Ring the bells and beat the drum

Tosspint fell foul of dogma
And slipped into schism
The trial was quick, the sky grew dark
They led him from the prison
Tied him to a stake of oak
Lit a fire of wood and coke
The crowd sang out "His bacon's smoked!"
The bells rang out "Tosspint's croaked!"

Tosspint under flaming sky
Walks through the fires of Hell
Where bestial demons threw the damned
Screaming as they fell
Into pits of burning coals
Tosspint throws up his last bowl
And mingled with the soup
His soul

Tosspint rises early
Sprung from a nightmare's claw
Thrice crows the dawn cock
The mist is on the moor
Twist the spigot, close the hole
Stoke the fire and blow the coal
The wheel spins, the gurdy hums
Ring the bells and beat the drum

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I don't know much about the Pogues.

But I do know me some clips from The Wire. One of the best scenes in all of TV history.

This is what we are talking about.

That Christmas song they have is pretty badass, too.

i'm a big fan. talk about a tortured artist.

anyone else see them at Voodoo Fest a few years ago? very sad. Shane was wasted and didn't even seem to know where he was. he was literally babbling into the mic.

the guys lyrics are incredible. too bad he was so difficult to understand.

DUDE I used to be a HUGE Pogues fan. Shane McGowan is the MAN.


I still like them, but have shied away from listening to them 24/7 like I used to.





eta: one of my favorite clips of him

Dirty Old Town - Self Aid - Dublin 1986

Check out the Mahones song called Great Night on the Lash. It is about a night they spent drinking with him.

I have heard it and the show name escapes me right now. I love DKM. Check out the Mahones new album called Black Irish. I think it got Punk album of the year on Reverb Nation.
