As I had mentioned in the Nips bio, Shane started working at a record store and sometimes filled in on guitar and vocals for Spider Stacey's band, "The Millwall Chainsaws." Around 1981 Shane was part of a nameless band led by a school teacher, which was not going anywhere and soon hit a dead end. Shane played bass, his good friend Jem Finer played guitar and Chainsaws member Ollie played drums. As time passed by Shane became more partial to Irish traditional music than punk. In the company of his friends (namingly Jem and Spider), Shane would always play or sing Irish songs which began to rub off on them. On many a drunken night Shane and Spider would sit in their flat listening to The Dubliners and other various Irish traditional groups. One night, Shane More... (Submit New Pogues Lyrics) (Submit New Pogues Lyrics) Review about Pogues Getting it right | Reviewer: robin jones ------ About the song Dirty Old Town performed by Pogues The Pogues get it right. There's the brutal environment and the stink of the Gas Works and your man with his flat, edgy voice singing of the only escape he's got left.. Nothing comes close. Rod Stewert is pampered perfumed powder by comparison, and I'd smack Kelly in the god and steal his pint. Shawn McGowan just gets it. There's nothing else. Nothing but silence. P.S. I love you.. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Love You 'Till The End performed by Pogues This song made me cry badly and histericaly when i watch the film. It was just so fit into the story, and yeah, i cried a lot. I wonder how and wonder when some1 luv me til the end.. Wish it could happened.. :( I love this song ! | Reviewer: Vickie ------ About the song Turkish Song Of The Damned performed by Pogues I love the Pogues and many of their songs, including 'and the band played Waltzing Matilda', 'I'm a man you don't meet every day', et all. But I have to say The Turkish song of the damned is my fav. Close | Reviewer: Andrew ------ About the song The Rare Old Mountain Dew performed by Pogues Try seperating the Verses to make it easier to read, along with just saying "Chorus" where it fits. Try listening to the song again, a few of the words are in the wrong place, but in the right line. Apart from that, pretty good. Brilliant | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues This song has to be one of the most poignant christmas songs. I kinda don't like it when people say it's lighthearted, cos it's just so terribly sad. The whole connotations that go along with it make it one of the most true christmas songs, compared to all the rubbish about it being a perfect time of year. A true, and legendary song. Irish?English? | Reviewer: Carolan Quinn ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues What is this Irish/English thing going on in these reviews.? This is a beautiful song, great lyrics, great music, great story. My Mum was English, my dad was Irish. This is their song. Its ow I grew up.They loved each other, he kept losing jobs for fighting and we wouldnt have dinner - but she loved him - he adored her -, he kept dreaming, she got pissed off cos she had to feed the kids !. Dont make this an English Irish thing - the English are not jealous of the Irish - we envy your Poetic Soul...and this song is above all this crap ! i love it!!!! | Reviewer: sarahlougreen ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues i think the song is fantastic , love hearing it when it comes on the radio or on tv. people to dont like this obviously dont have a sence of humour and need to get a life i think its fab. R.I.P. KIRSTY XX David Byrne | Reviewer: Jay P ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues Mr Byrne, generalising a whole group of people is why racism exists in our world today. Also just to point out an error on your part, how is this song irish???. The writer was Jem Finer, who is ENGLISH. indeed , fuck you david byrne ! | Reviewer: sophie ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues i couldnt agree more! what gives any one the right to say something like that because a couple of people who might just happen to be english dont like it as much as you do? Me and my whole family are English and we love the song , this just looks like some typical irish arrogance to me! Fuck you david byrne | Reviewer: Jake ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues You generalise the every englishman based on a few? I'm english through and through. I still like this song. To call every englishman a prick because one or two dislike this song is absolute bullshit. Did you ever consider that maybe the people that don't like it, dislke it because it's not their type of song? Twat. Fuckin lethal | Reviewer: beckiii ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues This song is bloody lethal.. i love being irish.. n i wud not change it for the world..!! the aul pogues r veryy gud... this is my favourite christmas song.. all my peerz in school sung this song in our school play..!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Favourite Christmas song | Reviewer: Brett ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues This song just adds a little fun into Christmas which is what we all need. I'm English and I don't think it matters whether you're English, Irish or Japanese for Christ's sake, this is just a fantastic song that will always be my favourite Christmas song. are you serious | Reviewer: david byrne ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues who ever doesn't like this song must be a fucking "fool". this song is so unique compared to the rest of them. it adds a bit of humour which you need on christmas. all the rest of you english pricks and who ever else are just bias and jealous because its an "IRISH SONG". the BEST christmas song ever written and no one better to sing it than the pogues and kirsty. "I LOVE YOU KISTY AND THE POGUES". you make me proud to be irish "the boys of the nypd choir still singing galway bay and the bells are ringing out for christmas day" DAVID OUUUUT!!!!! Perfect for Genre | Reviewer: J Kurka ------ About the song If I Should Fall From Grace With God performed by Pogues Given the type of music, this is a perfect song. The movement of the melody and the mixture of instruments, intonation of verse and just enough jint at meaning that it makes one want to pay attention even as the chorus repeats. Love it ' Dirty Old Town ' | Reviewer: Gregor McKwar ------ About the song Dirty Old Town performed by Pogues ' Dirty Old Town ' was written by Ewan MacColl, the late Kirsty MacColl's father, in 1949. It is about the industrial city of Salford where he grew up. Salford in a north west of England city next to Manchester! Best song ever written | Reviewer: jamison brown ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues I can't believe someone would ever say a bad thing about this song! It's not only the best Christmas song, but just may be the best song ever written ever! Rubbish? Tuneless? Come on! Shane MacGowan is a freaking genius and an incredible artist! A drunk? Of course, but who gives a damn? It's all part of his art! Hence: "christmas eve in the drunk-tank". If you don't comprehend, relate to, OR understand this man's artistic nature, PISS OFF! Go listen to your Clay Aiken Christmas album, knit a sweater and sip your damn cocoa! Best song ever period. | Reviewer: Jamison Brown ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues I can't believe someone would ever say a bad thing about this song!

Mr. Moon's Version | Reviewer: John Sieger ------ About the song Dirty Old Town performed by Pogues First trip to England last month. Met and jammed with Mr. Moon in Sheerness. His version was outrageous and funny! He changed one lyric... "I kissed my girl where the sun don't shine" One of the greatest songs ever written. Classic! First Person Talks Crap | Reviewer: Ladeeda ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues Why are you saying all this stuff Mr Gregg McKenzie? You talk shit!!! The Pogues are just trying to have some fun!! Lighten up!! It wouldn't be funny if they took out all those words!!!! Stuck up mate!!! Re: ban on words 'slut' and 'faggot' | Reviewer: Gregg McKenzie ------ About the song Fairytale Of New York performed by Pogues I completely agree with the editing and removal of the obviously offensive words 'slut' and 'faggot'! 'You scumbag, you maggot, You cheap lousy faggot' rhymes 'maggot' with 'faggot' and follows the words 'cheap' and 'lousy' and is obviously derogatory! 'Slut' no longer means 'slattern' and is also derogatory. The Pouges are a crap band and this song, in my opinion, is tuneless rubbish!
