The Medusa Fora

Jorge Garcia from LOST about his favourite song:

The Pogues - The Broad Majestic Shannon
"Shane MacGowan ist für mich der beste Songwriter aller Zeiten. Er schreibt Liebeslieder, die Dreck unter den Fingernägeln haben."

my english attempt: "Shane is the best songwriter of all time. He writes lovesongs, that have dirt under the fingernails" ...doesn't make sence in english, doesn't it?

Oh that makes perfect sense. What a poignant way of putting into words what I love about Shane's songs.

And what a brilliant way of expressing what I would have expressed if only I had had the words.
