Met Shane, in the Devonshire, in Camden Town, about 88. He would have always drank there. A lovely fella. My brother and my friend were all somewhat hungover, Shane gave us a wee tonic bottle, his manager always gave to him before a gig. Well it started the party again. We had a good day's craic with him. We talked about Behan, Wilde and Heaney. A day I will never forget. Because he is now in that collection of great Irish poets.
ANOTHER LEGEND GONE TO SOON, ENJOY THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY SHANE WE,LL ALL MEET SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE AND PARTY LIKE THERE,S NO TOMORROW. A HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S HOPE THE NEW YEAR IS A GOOD ONE FOR YOU ALL. 🎄🌟🧑🎄❄️
A gifted bard, a fragile soul, I loved his music and voice all my life, this is my favourite ballad by rhea pogues. Jesus the lyrics are gifts...you are the measure of my dreams...goodbye Shane I hope heaven is ready

I've been loving you a long time Down all the years, down all the days And I've cried for all your troubles Smiled at your funny little ways We watched our friends grow up together And we saw them as they fell Some of them fell into Heaven Some of them fell into Hell I took shelter from a shower And I stepped into your arms On a rainy night in Soho The wind was whistling all its charms I sang you all my sorrows You told me all your joys Whatever happened to that old song? To all those little girls and boys Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning The ginger lady by my bed Covered in a cloak of silence I'd hear you talking in my head I'm not singing for the future I'm not dreaming of the past I'm not talking of the first times I never think about the last Now the song is nearly over We may never find out what it means Still there's a light I hold before me You're the measure of my dreams The measure of my dreams
What a soul sweet heart,Yes some off them fell in too heaven ,Some off them fell into hell,That has too be life ,Some can walk away,Others suffer ,God love you Shane.
Just learned about Shane from a good friend who knows the music and the history. So sorry it took so long. This guy was incredible! I’m gonna dive deep on his life and music now, and spread the treasures.
@douglove2412 enjoy the deep dive, am doing same myself after too long also. Get ready to laugh, cry and feel all the things worth feeling that keep Life real

Love ❤️ and I miss you so much all of your songs meant so much to me to me because you put your heart into your music and they meant something,not like the music of today.you will missed so
Can anyone tel me which Pogues CD/Album collection this version is from? I've listen to many YT postings of this great song, and it seems there are at least 2 or 3 versions. But, this one is the best, I think.
This is the Oboe version, released on the North American editions of the Poguetry In Motion EP, February 1986. Also included in The Pogues Box Set ; Just look them straight in the eye and say... Poguemahone!!
This reminds me of Dessie grew Erin’s finest son active for 20 odd years though in prison a true republican legend and if you want an example of a true Irish patriot look no further than Dessie he still has a brother aiden a lived with aiden two nights over with an Irish Republican flute band gentleman great breed of true fighting spirit for Irishmen look no further than the grew family diamonds 💎 🇮🇪✊🇮🇪32
