Shane MacGowan - An Irish Airman Forsees His Death (Yeats)

I know that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate, Those that I guard I do not love; My country is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan's poor, No likely end could bring them loss Or leave them happier than before. Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds; I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years to come seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behind In balance with this life, this death.

The Song with no Name - Shane Macgowan & The Popes

Another classic from Shane's genius... --- Long years ago I fell in love With a lady proud and fair So passionate were she and I We made fire in the air I loved her more than life itself She loved me just the same And it broke my heart To think we'd part if she ended the affair But I was brutal, I was ignorant I was cruel I was brash I never gave a damn about The beauty that I smashed No sadist I, I took delight In making my Love cry Now I'd pray for a single kiss from her To be lashed and crucified And now I feel this lady fair Can never more be mine Long gone are night in my lonely bed All suffering and crying And though I fear that through this life She'll only call me friend 'Till I'm dead and buried in my grave My Love will never end ---

Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, Shane MacGowan, Blixa Bargeld, Mick Harvey - Death is not the end

Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, Shane MacGowan, Blixa Bargeld, Mick Harvey - Death is not the end (MTV Most Wanted 1995) When you're sad and when you're lonely And you haven't got a friend Just remember that death is not the end And all that you held sacred Falls down and does not mend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end When you're standing on the crossroads That you cannot comprehend Just remember that death is not the end And all your dreams have vanished And you don't know what's up the bend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end, not the end Just remember that death is not the end

Shane MacGowan - Lonesome Highway

Lonesome Highway By Shane MacGowan As I wondered down the long lonesome highway I meet other people on the way The broken hearted lovers who've been left along the by-way Living by night and hiding from the day The people I meet as I go on my way They all have a story to tell How they once had a lover who left them on the by-way To wonder this lonely hell And if you know, don't let me go And if you know, don't let me go And if you know, don't let me go I love you so I love you so So as I carry on down the long lonesome highway I meet other people on the way More broken hearted lovers who've been left along the by-way Living by night and hiding from the day And if you know, don't let me go And if you know, don't let me go And if you know, don't let me go Cause I love you so I love you so I love you so....
Shane Macgowan and the Popes - Church of the Holy Spook

Lyrics : My Daddy was a sinner, but my Mother was a saintly person But I ruined my life by drinking, bad Wives, taking pills and cursing Rock and Roll you crucified me, Left me all alone I never should have turned my back on The old folks back home Give me that Church of the Holy Spook Church of the Holy Spook Church of the Holy Spook, it's good enough for me It was good for me dear old Daddy and my dear old Mammy too Give me that Church of the Holy Spook I don't need nothin' new I believe in the Church of the Holy Spook I believe that he's in me The Tao is like a river, so float along with me When the sacred blood of the Holy Ghost is boiling in my veins I think of Jesus on the cross and I scream out for his pain. Give me that Church of the Holy Spook Church of the Holy Spook Church of the Holy Spook, it's good enough for me It was good for me dear old Daddy and my dear old Mammy too Give me that Church of the Holy Spook I don't need nothin' new
A Pair of Brown Eyes by Shane MacGowan sung by Christy Moore

This wonderful song, written by Shane MacGowan and sung by the amazing Christy Moore is played here over a slide show of some of my own images & some powerful images from WW1 & WW2 archives, as an interpretation of MacGowan's lyric. The image of the 'old man in the corner' is traditional Irish singer Séan de hOra. The brown eyes I met on the Dublin ferry last year. She was very beautiful.

Shane MacGowan and the Popes - The Snake With Eyes of Garnet

Last night as I lay dreaming My way across the sea James Mangan brought me comfort With laudnum and poitin He flew me back to Dublin In 1819 To a public execution Being held on Stephen's Green The young man on the platform Held his head up and he did sing Then he whispered hard into my ear As he handed me this ring "If you miss me on the harbour For the boat, it leaves at three Take this snake with eyes of garnet My mother gave to me! This snake cannot be captured This snake cannot be tied This snake cannot be tortured, or Hung or crucified It came down through the ages It belongs to you and me So pass it on and pass it on 'Till all mankind is free If you miss me on the harbour For the boat, it leaves at three Take this snake with eyes of garnet My mother gave to me" He swung, his face went purple A roar came from the crowd But Mangan laughed and pushed me And we got back on the cloud He dropped me off in London Back in this dying land But my eyes were filled with wonder At the ring still in my hand If you miss me on the harbour For the boat, it leaves at three Take this snake with eyes of garnet My mother gave to me! And if you miss me on the harbour For the boat, it leaves at three Take this snake with eyes of garnet My mother gave to me!
