Shane MacGowen Drinking Quotes

In the rosy parks of England we'll sit and have a drink

Of VP wine and cider 'til we can hardly think

And we'll go where the spirits take us to heaven or to hell

And kick up bloody murder in the town we love so well

The Pogues - "Transmetropolitan"

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!

The Pogues - "Waxie's Dargle"

And mother wake me early in the morning

I am going, I am going

Where streams of whiskey are flowing

Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home

From bar to bar like a ghost I roamed

Fifteen minutes later

We had our first taste of whiskey

The Pogues - "The Body of an American"

McCormack and Richard Tauber are singing by the bed

There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head

There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands

One summer evening drunk to hell

I sat there nearly lifeless

Whatever it costs I will pay

So be easy and free when you're drinking with me

I'm a man you don't meet every day

The Pogues - "I'm A Man You Don't Meet Every Day"

Sad to say I must be on me way

So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away

I'd like to think of me returning when I can

To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

The Pogues - "Sally MacLennane"

So listen up close, I've get something to say

Boys, I'm buying this round

Well it took a little while but we're in this fight

And we ain't going home 'til we've done what's right

We're gonna drink Camden Town dry tonight

If I have to spend my last pound

In the drunk tank

We have brandy and half corona

And Leonardo and his accordione

And Kalamari and macaroni

And they'd never get drunk but stay sober

First we drank some whiskey

Then we drank some gin

Then we drank tequila

I think that's what did me in

Then we drank some brandy

And the women had a dance

The steward then announced

That we could play the game of "chance"

The Pogues - "Boat Train"

That woman's got me drinking

Look at the state I'm in

Give me one, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten bottles of gin

The Popes with Shane MacGowen - "That woman's got me drinking"

If you name me a street

Then I'll name you a bar

And I'll walk right through Hell

just to buy you a jar
