40 years later, this is 6 year olds favourite song. He kmows it word for word and sings it anywhere and everywhere at the drop of a hat. Rip Shane McGowan ❤

[Mick-Kahl]

And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again

[DeanUnsworth-wygm]

Time will be very very kind to Shane MacGowan and the incredible Pogues. RIP great man SM.

My favourite Pogues song. The lyrics & melody just hit something with me. Shane was a brilliant poet. R.I.P

[angelaharty-bxqn]

Lov😂😂😂e this song. My late Irish husband was born near Lismore and after many years we returned to my Cornish home which he loved. Said it was so like Ireland. We were both kelts. Played it at his funeral on St. Patricks day

[NickGoo-ju]

RIP Shane, one of the heroes of my youth, forever in my pantheon and in my heart and immortal through the art you have given us. Love from Italy.

We will never forget you and your charismatic voice. Now you share the same Place in Heaven with all the irish musician heroes phil lynott, gary moore and rory gallagher.

I was lucky to be in London from Merseyside i met The Pogues with some Irish nurses from Whipps Cross hospital at Battersea Park free festival on saturday . That was it. Been hooked ever since

[NiSiochainGanSaoirse]

God rest your immortal soul, Shaney boy!

at a time when being Irish in England was hostile, racist and very often painful, yourself and the fellas were the finest ambassadors for Irish culture that there were in Northern England in the 80s.

Thank you Shane, for the memories, the music, and God love ye, for the craic.

one in a million.
sleep easy Shaney.

[Floyd_Flynote]

I was so sad when heard about Shane's death. Love his singin', voice, emotions, feelings that he put in his perfomances. And he was so natural in that! God bless your soul, Shane. Always in my heart.

[cherylforbes]

Saw them in the 80's can't believe there are only a few ppl dancing. That's all we did at the show! RIP Shane 😢
