I've loved the Pogues since I was a child. And listening to this song again, there is something about the mix of memories of places and a person that makes me want to cry.
Pogues song censored. I'm not quite sure what to think about that. I can see both sides of the argument. However, that song is awesome (I think it's pretty much the only christmas song I like), and anything that draws attention to it is good! The story is also rather amusing.
