Well that was not the line I was thinking of, but lets just wait and see how the rest of my life turns out.

That's sheer class! Personally I've got a lot of time for Hell's Ditch, largely coz I like the stripped-down feel of it. After the brass and strings and guest artists and big arrangements of 'Fall From Grace' and 'Peace and Love' I like the fact that it's just The Pogues (ok, and Siobhan Sheehan) playing simple tracks. Reminds me of the first 2 albums in that sense.

Quite. I also think the album has such a unique atmosphere. You just cannot beat tracks like 5 Green Queens and Sayonara.

Sorry forgot to mention that one. 5 green queens and jean is pure genius, absolutely brilliant song. I appreciate being allowed to voice my views even though they mightn't be popular ones. The way some forums have gone it would be treated as sacreligious or something.

Medusans are more civilized. Instead of quarreling and calling names, they start building a stake right away.

And there's the rub. Petrol is so damned expensive these days.
