***SEA SHANTY - by Shane MacGowan
from the albums "Red Roses For Me"
Sea Shanty - as perfomed by The Pogues
Dear Cdirty London in the pouring rain
I Cwish to God I was back on the sea aFgain
Though Cthat belongs to the world of never will be
there was Cnever a wilder bastard than me on the Fsea
I Ccould fuck all Fthe whores in damnation me boys
ThoughC they wriggled and holFlered and made a great noise
TheCn I'd drink 'til IF stank and then drink plenty more
And I Cwon't go down toF the sea any more
ButC if I had ten Fpounds then I'd raise a loud cheer
AnCd I'd toast Fall me neighbours both distant and dear
AnCd I'd shoot bacFk great belly-crippling buckets of beer
And a Cpox and a curse onF the people round here
WouCldn't give youF the price of a half pint of beer
WouCldn't give youF the price of a cup of good cheer
A Cpox and Fa curse on the people round here

A man's ambition must indeed be small to write his name upon a shithouse wall
But before I die I'll add my regal scrawl to show the world I'm left with sweet fuck all
And when all of us bold shithouse 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 shit now me boys
I met with Bill James we fought over crusts
He called me a whore and I booted his crutch
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
