There's no pain, there's no more sorrow

They're all gone, gone in the years, babe

I agree. He was a great poet.

That's always been my favorite!

Bury me at sea Where no murdered ghost can haunt me If I rock upon the waves And no corpse can lie upon me Let me go, boys, let me go, boys Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry

I was at the Fleadh music festival in 2000 (?) where Shane MacGowan & the Popes were one of the bands on the bill. Their set was delayed by 35-40 minutes due to Shane being MIA for all of the usual reasons, I'm sure, but they ended up putting on a good show once Shane found his way to the stage. RIP.

Dude was an amazing talent. One of my favorites.

I hope he’s raising a pint with Kirsty about now.
