Is it true Shane has not written any new songs since his second solo album?
Has he made any statement about why, or whether he's going to?

I am aware of one done in 2014.
Shane has written a ballad, ‘For the Dancing and the Dreaming’ for the upcoming film, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON – 2, the sequel to the hit movie based on Cressida Cowell’s YA book series. DRAGON 2 premiered recently at Cannes and the film will be released on June 11th
Shane didn't sing it but I remember hearing it and thinking it sounded like something Shane would sing/write. His name didn't appear in the ending credits. He wrote the lyrics only.

Has anyone asked Shane why he doesn't write more songs?
I noticed also, the Sex Pistols made no attempt to write more songs in their reunions which started around 1996.
The Pogues should be able to make a new album. If Shane doesn't write new songs, the others could, although Phil was a great loss.

Yeah, other than the Dragon movie song, the last "new" song i remember was "Satan is Waiting" w/ Lancaster County Prison, which was in 2003
