pogues - sea shanty lyrics

Loading...

dear dirty london in the pouring rain
i wish to god i was back in the sea again
though that belongs to the world of never will be
there was never a wilder b-st-rd than me on the sea

i could f-ck all the wh-r-s in d-mnation 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 the price of a half pint of beer
wouldn’t give you 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 sh-t house wall
but before i die i’ll add my regal scrawl
to show the world i’m left with sweet f-ck all

and when all of us bold sh-t 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 sh-t now me boys

i met with bill james we fought over crusts
i called him a wh-r- and he booted his crutch
we shared out the jack and we thought it a treat
the compliments p-ss when the quality meet
the compliments p-ss when the quality meet
the compliments p-ss when the quality meet
the compliments p-ss when the quality meet
