There are more things in heaven and earth, RICHB, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

As our old friend Oirish Rover often pointed out, beoing born oin a stable doesn't make you a horse.


Very true. Has anyone heard from Oirish???

Pansy Americans. You should hear what Shane has said about the English, and he's basically English himself.


He's not English, you cunt. His parents, living in Tipperary, were visiting relatives in England over christmas and Shane was born on christmas day. Three months later they returned to Tipperary where Shane lived until nearly age 7, the most critical of anybody's life. He feels that a lot of his problems began when the family moved to London.You cunt.


Enough with the ad hominem abuse already. End of.

This song is one of the many highlights on the pogues concerts. I think on the Hell's Ditch tour it was not played up to the reunion 2001.

I don't wish to fuel the fire but there is that bit on "Across The Broad Atlantic" where Shane says, "God Bless America... NOT."

Though personally I prefer to think that he is referring to the concept of Americanism, rather than individual Americans per se.

Whatever, Shane often contradicts himself anyway (read "A Drink With..." for ample evidence of this), so if I were the American chappy commenting above, I wouldn't worry about it, honestly.

Also (and finally), both "Bottle..." and "The Body Of..." are awesome songs, and that's all that matters. To me anyway.

Over and out.

That's a Wildean concept, isn't it?

I'm an American, and I see nothing Anti-American about the lyrics "F*** the Yanks!" It's just a brilliant, hilarious line -- it jumps out from nowhere, yet makes sense in the heat of the moment.

It's really hard to say anything truly Anti-American, because it's so flattering that we can consistently remain the topic of conversation.
