My beautiful mum Maisie Bosquette, Strokestown, County Roscommon, Ireland, passed away 22nd January 2023 in her 90th Year and this was one of her favourites. We played it as she left the Church on the journey to her final resting place. She loved Shane so much. This one is for you mum. I'm so proud of you and all you achieved. Rest peacefully to the greatest mum I could ever dream to have had. 💔 R.I P 🙏🏼

My husband and I had pretty opposite musical taste, but we both loved The Pogues. He picked this song for our first dance at our wedding. ❤ Tragically, a little less than three years after getting married, my husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly when he was just 44. So I played this song at our honoring ceremony for him too. 💔 He always was and always will be the measure of my dreams…..

I met him a few times, he was such brilliant company. What a sad day. The last of the great poetic singer songwriters. Btw, his English teacher when he was 11 read his essay homework and was so amazed by it he sent it to the headmaster of the hyper exclusive (and expensive) Westminster public school. Shane was then given a scholarship to Westminster and was considered by all his class as a genius, until he was expelled for drug dealing. Dominic Lawson was in his class - he never got over being beaten in English Composition by the Irish lout.

A timeless classic

Musical genius. You will never forgotten. RIP Shane😢

Shane has the voice of a dreamer, you hear the dreams in his voice. many singers have sung his songs these days, and now i realize how good singer he was. 💕Our world definitely needs more dreamers.

Probably the greatest song ever written. IRISH MARK.

My favourite song...Reminds me of Jill, my late wife. loved her to bits.

RIP Shane MacGowan. Fantastic frontman and voice,lyrical genius,superb all round musician and an absolute geezer ❤️

Being a student living in Camden town back in the late 80’s early 90’s and seeing Shane in the Camden Head drinking away just like a local his loss hits hard. So glad I was young at that time.

My dads favourite song that was played at his funeral means a lot i hope people can appreciate the lyrics like my family does ❤👌👏

Don't be silly.

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 Sometimes I'd wake up in the morning The ginger lady by my bed Covered in a cloak of silence I'd hear you talking in my head I'm not singing for the future I'm not dreaming of the past I'm not talking of the first times 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

RIP Shane, another great artist from my youth gone, they’re all fading away one by one slowly, getting older can be so cruel 😓

Since his death I've heard so many ppl say how shy he was, and I always thought he was a crazy loose cannon but listening to this you can understand what he really was . This song is a truly great love song to his wife . Sooo beautiful

The man was a legend and will live on forever in his lyrics. RIP Shane and thank you for the memories!

RIP Shane. Proper legend. Genius

The guy had a hell of a voice, so understated.

Beautiful Poetry accompanied by Beautiful Music, Rest Easy Shane, and thank you for what you left to the world for eternity

Merci Monsieur MacGowan pour toutes ces superbes chansons et votre voix qui ont accompagné mon adolescence 😢❤

This is one of the finest songs to grace this world It's absolutely brilliant

I live somewhere in the nook of an unknown corner in Asia. Listening to this song, I know what it is to be an Irish. The irony is I'm beginning to feel Irish, too. Shane's singing cuts deep! Love it

Ah Shane you represented us! The children of Irish ☘️ immigrants to London… you like me went to Tipperary for your summer. You loved sitting and listening to the older people… you and me and our first generation Irish lived in families who said … we are going home for summer! There is nothing plastic about our love and experience of growing up in our Irish families… you represent us and you do it or should I say … you did it so well. So I will raise a glass to you up there with the ole ones !! Take care as you go and thank you 🙏 my my heart to yours . X

Love love love love Shane. Your voice expresses the pain, beauty and sadness of the Irish people. We are forever indebted to you for bringing expression to the Irish Struggle. Ireland 🇮🇪 xxxxx

A vulnerable and wild man, but loveable and made some of the greatest music. Lots of feeling and soul, RIP Shane😢
