[fasterfffaster]

I’ll have a pint with you sir! Shane RIP 😢

[Antizan]

I was there, just was talking to someone about it

[audreycoffman]

Forever thankful i got to see the Pogues and give Shane some shyte! We watched him drinking before the show and yelled "dont get too s%&/ faced", he was a good sport and a kind soul

[neilus]

That scream from Shane at 01:39 gets me every time, what a fantastic performance!

[mattboaden]

the 80s was the best time for hard pub music, especially in Melbourne

[RobQos]

Audience completely unaware they are in the presence of brilliance.

[goaway]

The best type of concerts, just out for the craic Brilliantly done boys. Thank you for another classic vid and take care of yourselves please, Mate

[soup_is_good_food]

Great contrast with the timid, reverent approach to traditional music. Part of the Pogues brilliance is to unleash the energy which is implicit in these songs, and obscured or dampened by the conventional approach.

Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
"Will ye go to the Waxies dargle?"
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,
"I haven't got a farthing.
I went up to Monto town
To see Uncle McArdle
But he wouldn't give me a half a crown
For to go to the Waxies dargle."

What will ya have?!
I'll have a pint!
I'll have a pint with you, Sir!
And if one of ya' doesn't order soon
We'll be chucked out of the boozer!

Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
"Will ye go to the Galway races?"
Says your aul' wan to my aul' wan,
"I'll hawk me aul' man's braces.
I went up to Capel Street
To the Jewish moneylenders
But he wouldn't give me a couple of bob
For the aul' man's red suspenders."
What will ya have?!


I'll have a pint!
I'll have a pint with you, Sir!
And if one of ya' doesn't order soon
We'll be chucked out of the boozer!

Says my aul' wan to your aul' wan
"We got no beef or mutton
If we went up to Monto town
We might get a drink for nuttin'"
Here's a nice piece of advice
I got from an aul' fishmonger:
"When food is scarce and you see the hearse
You'll know you have died of hunger."

What will ya have?!
I'll have a pint!
I'll have a pint with you, Sir!
And if one of ya' doesn't order soon
We'll be chucked out of the boozer!
