The Pogues

The Pogues are a Celtic punk band from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band reformed in 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since, most notably on the US East Coast around St Patrick's Day and across the UK and Ireland every December. The group has yet to record any new music and, according to Spider Stacy on Pogues.com, has no inclination to do so. more »

On the first day of March it was raining 
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen 
I drank ten pints of beer and I cursed all the people there 
And I wish that all this raining would stop falling down on me 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

At the time I was working for a landlord 
And he was the meanest bastard that you have ever seen 
And to lose a single penny would grieve him awful sore 
And he was a miserable bollocks and a bitch's bastard's whore 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

I recall we took care of him one Sunday 
We got him out the back and we broke his fucking balls 
And maybe that was dreaming and maybe that was real 
But all I know is I left that place without a penny or f*ck all 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

But now I've the most charming of verandahs 
I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores 
Five green bottles sitting on the floor 
I wish to Christ, I wish to Christ 
That I had fifteen more 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

And it's lend me ten pounds, I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

The boys and me are drunk and looking for you 
We'll eat your frigging entrails and we won't give a damn 
Me daddy was a blue shirt and my mother a madam 
And my brother earned his medals at Mai Lei in Vietnam 

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

On the first day of March it was raining 
It was raining worse than anything that I have ever seen 
Stay on the other side of the road 
'Cause you can never tell 
We've a thirst like a gang of devils 
We're the boys of the county hell 

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning 

And it's lend me ten pounds and I'll buy you a drink 
And mother wake me early in the morning
