Who wrote this song? I know it was The Pogues post macgowan but ths sonf is a thing of beauty to me.

As I recall the fact the band started showcasing their obvious talent in a totally different direction ie not irish music wasn't what Shane wanted I believe this in some way led to him leaving the pogues maybe phil can clear this up?

bring it back live!!

Couldn't agree with you more mate imo it is a very underrated Pogues song.

Listening to Sketches Of Spain right now.

Was this done by The Pogues or was it done after Shane left the band?

I never knew Jem wrote that great tune always thought it sounded like somethign shane would wirte.

Hi new here to the site. The most underrated album in my view is Peace & Love it had a hard act to follow in If I Should Fall From Grace With God but it is a brilliant album imo. As for underrated songs I could be here all day but off the top of my head London Your A Lady, Pachinko, Drunken Boat...
