Pogues lyrics : "Sea Shanty"

Dear dirty london in the pouring rain
I wish to God I was back on the sea again
Though that belongs to the world of never will be

There was never a wilder !@$( than me on the sea
I could $#&@ all the !@^%s in damnation me boys
Though they wriggled and hollered and made a great noise

Then I'd drink till I stank and then drink plenty more
And I won't go down to the sea any more
But if I had ten pounds then I'd raise a loud cheer

And I'd toast all me neighbours both distant and dear
And I'd shoot back great belly-crippling buckets of beer
And a pox and a curse on the people round here

Wouldn't give you me the price of a half pint of beer
Wouldn't give you me the price of a cup of good cheer
A pox and a curse on the people round here


A man's ambition must indeed be small
To write his name upon a %#@!house wall

But before I die I'll add my regal scrawl
To show the world I'm left with sweet $#&@ all
And when all of us bold %#@!house poets do die

A monument grand they will raise to the sky
A monument made just to mark our great wit
A monument of solid %#@! now me boys

I met with bill james we fought over crusts
I called him a !@^% and he booted me crotch
Then we shared out the jack and we thought it a treat

The compliments pass when the quality meet
The compliments pass when the quality meet
The compliments pass when the quality meet

The compliments pass when the quality meet
