but icelander was first
I looked at him he looked at me All I could do was hate him
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky / I lay down on the ground / And the arms and legs of other men / Were scattered all around / Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed / Then prayed and bled some more / And the only thing that I could see / Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
Yeah, I'm listening to the Pogues again. Fuck you.
Saturday night we were in Birmingham to watch Coasts, before going into The Institute we popped intoThe Kerryman next door,upon walking in we were greeted by a bar full of drunk Birmingham Irish singing at the top of their voices along to what is probably my favourite Pogues song,it was a very special moment.
Happy St. Paddy's Day.
One of Shane MacGowan's finest songs.
