The Pogues - Thousands are sailing

[Hurler on the Bitch]

When 75 punts per shirt Charlie Haughey was telling us to tighten our belts it really was because there was no money

Was he not paying £1500 for each Charvel shirt?

Thanks for the clarification ... still a bastard that Haughey one. Cannot understand these assholes in the 26 who thought he was a loveable rogue..

I remember trying to argue its merits in the past on a thread about "The Streets Of New York". There were very few who, like myself, thought "Thousands are Saling" was superior.

Which was odd, I felt.

'The Streets Of New York' went to Number 1 in the charts and stayed there for numerous weeks, 'Thousands Are Sailing' didn't have the same success.  If the same group who brought 'The Streets Of New York' to Number 1 had also performed 'Thousands Are Sailing', then it may have been a bigger success.

Young Chevron is recovering (hopefully) from throat cancer - he is a regular poster on another forum I post on (not Pogues related) and the man is a genuis with words and a decent gentleman.

I hope he has a full recovery in 2008.

This song (Ordinary Man is a possible other) haunts and entertains me a in a way that nothing does any more..

SS what are the odds of getting Chevron to add a 2010 verse to his other classic observations.?

Don't tar us all with the same diry old brush.

Have you not seen how Bertie appears to have so many eating out of his hand?
