I feel like how Shane Macgowan smiles!

It could just be the office cube horrors and the Jesus freaks singing out of tune behind me. It could be my lucky rabbits foot has been caught in a snare while frolicking around my daydreams. Maybe it's just the rain outside the window though, or the humidity seeping into the crack that runs along my broken bone. Wet winds howling & I got me an Autumn disposistion and two full moons stuck in my eyes. I got cold ghosts in the memory and nothing but the shadows for company.The truth is because I got you on my mind & there's nothing to do now but sing a song...


I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell

I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song
To all those little girls and boys

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
But there's a light I hold before me
And you're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
The gingerlady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the fist time
I never think about the last

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams

A rainy night in SOHO*
THE POGUES

*Hands down my favorite Pogues song.
