Sad to hear that we've lost Shane MacGowen, the front man for the Irish band The Pogues. I dare you to watch this and not dance in your chair.

If I should fall from grace with god Where no doctor can relieve me If I'm buried 'neath the sod But the angels won't receive me
Let me go boys Let me go boys Let me go down in the mud Where the rivers all run dry
This land was always ours Was the proud land of our fathers It belongs to us and them Not to any of the others
Let them go boys Let them go boys Let them go down in the mud Where the rivers all run dry
Bury me at sea Where no murdered ghost can haunt me If I rock upon the waves No corpse can lie upon me
It's coming up three boys Keeps coming up three boys Let them go down in the mud Where the rivers all run dry
If I should fall from grace with god Where no doctor can relieve me If I'm buried 'neath the sod And still the angels won't receive me
Let me go boys Let me go boys Let me go down in the mud Where the rivers all run dry

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The Pogues // Turkish Song of the Damned
Did you keep a watch for the dead man's wind? Did you see the woman with the comb in her hand? Wailing away on the wall on the strand As you danced to the Turkish song of the damned
