When I first heard this song I was a young man who was madly in love with a beautiful and special young lady...this was 'our song'. After all these years this song is still a beautiful reminder of our brief time together.
For me I deputised on drums for an Irish Folk band one crazy crazy 3 gig weekend.... This was my favourite and I love the drum part so played it very faithful to this.... 🥁
"Waiting for Herb" was the BEST album they ever did. They never needed Shane. They're better without him. He oppresses their artistry with his drunken sideshow bullshit.
Too many sad days Too many Tuesday mornings I thought of you today I wished it was yesterday morning I thought of you today I dreamt you were dressed in mourning But I knew that you With your heart beating And your eyes shining Would be dreaming of me Lying with you On a Tuesday morning I fell through the window And I found that I was still breathing I thought of tomorrow And the fear that you might leave me I thought of tomorrow And I wished it was Monday morning But I knew that you With your heart beating And your eyes shining Would be dreaming of me Lying with you On a Tuesday morning Turn your face from me And I will cover myself with sorrow Bring hell down upon me I will surrender my heart to sorrow Bring hell down upon me And I will say goodbye tomorrow But I knew that you With your heart beating And your eyes shining Would be dreaming of me Lying with you On a Tuesday morning
Shane left the group prior to the recording of the last Pogues album, and Spyder Stacey took over lead vocals. They initially tried to get Joe Strummer to sing with then but Strummer couldn't get out of his recording contract.
The singer is called Spider. He played the tin whistle with The Pogues. At this point, Shane had been sacked (fired) by the band. It's not the same without Shane.
Actually, Shane was with the band at this concert -- you can see the full concert on RU-vid under "The Pogues in Paris". Shane did nearly all of the lead singing in this concert -- he sat this one out, and Spider was great.
Pogues can go on without Shane. AC/DC went on without Bon. Bodeans went on without Sam. INXS had the right guy with JD Fortune. You can be replaced by great talent.
