It definitely has a more eastern feel to it than the precvious ones.Especially Nepalese,the locals in the Himalayas heard the Pogues from my crappy tape player and thopught it was Nepalese folk music! Personally I cna identify with
Sunnyside Of tthe Street
"Ended up in Nepal,Up on a roof with nothing at all"
cos thats where i got back into the Pogues after not listening to them for a couple of years.Its been relentless since then at that was 99 and i have lost friends and really pissed neighbours off since then but what the fuck?
I like the one about "Woo,she gave me Mekong Whiskey
Woo she gave me Hong Kong flu,woo she gave me Mekong Whiskey ,put me on a plane to khatmandu"What is that one?
Theres refernces to Pataya beach asswell in Thailand where aqll the sex tourists go-"Singha beer,Singha beer,..............ah its good to be back.
Anyway Singha beer and Mekong whisky are the main brands in Thailand but they are rough as arse .
P.S In India stay away from a beer called Sandpaper, lol Sandpiper
