merkuriusupplevelsen

Shane MacGowan. Sångare i bland annat The Pogues. Jävligt skön, men vilka irländare är inte det egentligen?
Finns fina låtar han gör ihop med Sinead O'Connor också för den som är intresserad.
Denna låten dock gillar jag skarpt. När han var med sitt tredje band, Shane MacGowan and The Popes.
Så jävla brutal text på något sätt. Blandat med vackra ord och mindre vackra ord, men tunga ord allihopa.
"I was cruel, I was brash. I never gave a damn about the beauty that I smashed." Wunderbar.

"Long years ago I fell in love
With a lady proud and fair
So passionate were she and I
We made fire in the air
I loved her more than life itself
She loved me just the same
And it broke my heart
To think we'd part if she ended the affair

But I was brutal, I was ignorant
I was cruel I was brash
I never gave a damn about
The beauty that I smashed
No sadist I, I took delight
In making my Love cry
Now I'd pray for a single kiss from her
To be lashed and crucified

And now I feel this lady fair
Can never more be mine
Long gone are night in my lonely bed
All suffering and crying
And though I fear that through this life
She'll only call me friend
'Till I'm dead and buried in my grave
My Love will never end"
