Usual warning goes here about using these fora to arrange for the exchange of illicit copies of music, video, etc.

I am surprised as I see somebody else specially interested in that song, because it has always been my favourite among those of "Red Roses For Me".

In my opinion one The Pogues most underrated songs. I'm curious was this song ever played live, I've read that it was with guest vocals from Elvis Costello, Thomas Keane, and Henry Benagh. Also, is there any chance that this song could make it back into the live set.

It's a good song and yes, we were still playing it live well into 1985, maybe longer. I do not recall the Costello/Keane/Benagh version but, as it does exist - or is at least listed - on a bootleg I have never listened to, I suppose it must have happened.

great song, and it has my favorite Shane "scream" from any of the recorded material I have heard. So loud and frantic.

Shane and Spider could trade off. That would be cool.

"And I'd shoot back great belly-crippling buckets of beer"

I'm amazed that Shane could sing this and stay in time. This would have been a long day in the studio, recording the vocals. One of my favorites, also. Lots of great lines

This is on ebay ; if you want the actual link for a obvious bootleg you'll have to, of course, find it yourself!
I'm not going to bid for it . If, however, anyone here has it already I'd love to trade for a copy (cd or whatever) of it.
