The making of a Pogues song

[cougar]

It's true, I spent long and grimy hours at the seam, but accompanied pretty much all of the time by Jem. It was he and I that swung the sledge often enough. But, well, after all, there wasn't a shortage of guys who could put their shoulders up against a loaded trolley and we never groped our way down a lightless chamber without that the canary went first.

damn, why arent there any Americans that can talk that way?

[celticjunk]

I'm sure I would

You would buy a recording of Pogues farts if they would record them, celticjunk.

Of course

I would generally go to the pub for this bit.

Brilliant.

And what about when Shane had gone? Did the same technique apply for Tuesday Morning, Drunken Boat, Pachinko and all the other songs I love?

Naah, Shane wrote all those on his own. He had more time on his hands by then

on the shane bio he was all beered up and babbling about how he wrote every not of 'fairytale' except for a little rif by jem and here and there.

is this really how it went down? i wouldn't be surprised if jem wrote the whole fucking piano part.
