Sure, it´s a Billy Bragg song, (and a very good one), but as far as I know he never released it as a 7"; or if he did, it wasn´t a hit for him, as opposed to Kirsty MacColl, whose version was the biggest solo hit of her career.

I mean, "Dirty old town" isn´t an original Pogues song, either. :wink:
