- I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Shane MacGowan just died today... I love this song and this performance in particular, it is raw and authentic. That sentence in the beggining "This is called dirty old town" chills me everytime. Rest in peace poet of the people - you'll be missed!
Yeah, mate, it's a sad day.
This performance showed the mutual love and understanding he and fans shared. A very special thing. Ah, Shane.
Yes mate very sad day for us here in Ireland he was a true legend 😢💔💚🤍🧡🙏🙏
It’s a sad, sad day. Sent my dad this video who raised me on the pouges. He texted back “I lost a family member today”. The pouges have a deep root in my family. Thankful for shane’s life ❤️
😢❤
I returned from my first trip in the Merchant Navy as a Marine Engineer Officer Cadet and paid off in my home port of Hebburn. After 4 months away at sea I hoped that the girl I loved wouldn't have fallen out of love with me while I was away. I had sent a telegram telling her what time the ship would dock. I walked towards the white Lead pub and the foul smell of the Lennox chemical factory. I saw a familiar figure walking towards me. I dropped my suitcases and ran to meet her. That kiss was something I'll never forget. Christine passed away last year, 2 months after our 40th wedding anniversary. I love her so much and will only stop when my mind and body follow hers.

Sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing your story

Legend never will be forgotten, this song will be heard for hundreds of years to come. RIP SHANE 😪
You know he didn't write this right?
@@kernowarty who wrote it?
lol
OUI....c'est le CRI DU COEUR POUR SA TERRE ET SA PATRIE....❤❤❤
Shane McGowan was brilliant There will never be anyone like him ever 🇨🇮 RIP Shane You were a One off 💚Xx
Call him a alcoholic call him wasted talent I call him a incredible human being with a talent RIP IN PARADISE ❤
And Can’t carry a note (though if he were ever caught sober he probably sang like a bird . Lol ) , but he is a freakin legend. Not many can pull that off.
The drinking was only one part of his genius
No was drugs too @@richardalexander261
This has been on repeat all day in memory for this absolute legend!💙
R.I.P to the legend.. he will be missed by us all.. he was a light in a gloomy life :(
This song is human kind heritage. It is directly linked to our souls. Thanks for that masterpiece Shane. Your one of a kind.
The word is you're NOT your.
@@ndhan72🧌
Shane wrote some beautiful songs, but not this one. This was written by James Miller of Salford. Born to Scottish parents and better known as Ewan MacColl. The song is about Salford and one of the group actually dedicates this song at the beginning, saying "this is for anybody here from Salford"....(0.15).
I'm portuguese and I thank you for this amazing hymn. Kind of a therapy for a fucked up week. RIP Shane.
Lovely comment
Boas e que viva la música
Feliz Navidad
Best song of all time!! RIP Shane ❤️
Had an Irish friend who I used to work with many moons ago in the mid eighties, he said you've got to come and see this band at Nottingham Rock City The Pogues. It's still a great memory, the love and friendship in the crowd was amazing great gig. Farewell Shane Legend.
Shane Macgowan is still alive at June 4th, 2021. At this point nothing can beat this man
EDIT: unfortunately Shane MacGowan died today aged 65, may he rest in peace.
And I hope nothing will legend
How lucky are we the “older generation “to appreciate this ? When the young get older so will they!
Macgowan is superlative
🙏
May God Watch Over Him !
Mad to think this was only 10 years ago and Shane is completely on point! What a difference a few years makes. The whole band is so underrated, after all they went through the music is absolutely out of this world. Pure fucking talent 🇬🇧 🇮🇪
You know what mate, well said, I'm only 38, and have known this song and the band all my life, dad and his girlfriend always have the pogues playing at their legendary house parties.
So now even though me and dad haven't spoken in years, due to him being a money grabbing bastard, now I listen to them on my own, and enjoy their talent, and the waterboys, and levellers, the rolling stones, led zep, and pink floyd, atleast for my age I enjoy real music , so I'm happy for him to of imparted that to me, even though in the long run he was a let down.
with love and a happy christmas from Salford
Totally agreed! What’s Shane been up to since they split again? Anybody have video links. He’s got his gruff here, but it sounds better than ever.

R.I.P. Shane - Classic Pogues song - Dirty Old Town 😊👍
It seems like everything Shane sang was raw and authentic. I had forgotten just how much I love The Pogues. Thank you Shane for 30 years of helping me get thru life.
Whenever the Irish sing it's always raw and authentic, just as God intended.
Rest in peace Shane McGowan, musical genius ❤️
RIP Shane, thank you for all your fantastic music you gave us, you'll always be remembered❤
It's a memory I'll never forget, a Pogues concert in Germany.
Shane was stoned out of his mind, he stumbled on stage, lit a cigarette, drank a whiskey. Then he had to hold on to the microphone stand.
The music started to play.Shane celebrated all his musical skills. The moment is deeply etched in my mind. An incredible performance.
That was over 30 years ago.
I love and adore the Pogues.
Amazing memories ❤️
Is right 1 of the memories you WANT TO HAVE AND KEEP
Shane looks like a cross between Phil Ochs and Liam Neeson!
Glad you got nice memories ❤
Great story man 😎
No cellphones, just singing and dancing, a real crowd!!!!!!!! R.I.P Shane!!!!
Fantastic song, fantastic song writer, best car music you can get. RIP Shane. You were one of the best. 👍👍👍
He didn't write this song but he did write Fairytale in New York, I always thought he wrote this but just found out Kirsty McCoy's father wrote it, I had no idea McGowan was born in England either, gotta love google.
i love the little old boy,his smile is electric and u can see hes enjoying every minute.. what a song this is
That old boy is Phil Chevron and he's only aged 55 in this video. He was very ill and passed in October 2013.

Yes agree
I am absolutely broken hearted
May he rest in peace
Oh my frikn god, this is the first time I've ever listened to the Pogues. Why oh why didn't anyone tell me how great this band is. I'm 51 yrs old now and I've just listened to this track 4 times in a row
I am English and the pouges are fking awesome
all things come to those who wait :)
I'm 63 same I've been in a bubble
Where you been?
But at least you know now ❤
Shane, byłeś jedyny i niepowtarzalny. Poeta, chuligan, Irlandczyk… Mistrz.
So wahr. Du sprichst mir aus der Seele. ❤

RIP Shane. All you have to do is watch and here the crowd in this video. I would have loved to have been there amongst that crowd. What a performance! What a band! Thanks for all of your music that still touches us all. RIP ☘️
💯💯
Me too - they were having fun.
Absolutely
May he rest in peace
Totally agree with everything you say
I used to work by the docks in Salford in the 70s. It was a bit rough at that time but I was hooked on the place. I then went to New Zealand in 2018 and was in a bar on the South Island and requested a band to play this. Not sure if it would go down well as it was a young , very diverse crowd. The place absolutely erupted - everyone knew it!! I couldn't have been happier. I love Salford and I love this rendition of the song.
No matter where you go in this world this song is loved
Did you hear him say this is for everybody from Salford?
On my last trip to Manchester, I took - I think - two buses to get to Salford just to remember Shane MacGowan, this song, and its author/playwright/committed Socialist ... Can;t call his name now. Well, the Lowry museum is good, great, but it wasn't the Salford I came to love in Shane's singing. G B Hopkins - Texas Up the Iristh!

Great comment. Comments like these make the comment section a great place.
there something about him, theres a light that will always shine, god bless you lad
So much energy and brilliant... I saw the Pogues several times in the 80s and this is as full of life as they were then. What a lovely thing to find this after we have lost Shane
When the brass instruments enter... it always gives me chills
Brilliant version billy

Le peuple irlandais j'adore vive les Celtes 👍🏽🙂
Eu também sinto o mesmo
Maybe use more lube
The Pogues , Shane , ma jeunesse qui s’éteint petit à petit 🥺🇮🇪🇫🇷🙏
You were one of our own we love you Shane ❤🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😊
I saw pogues in finsbury park london. 2000 i think, shane appeared to be drunk and staggered about the stage , but when they started playing he somehow morphed in to something beyond incredible! You have to have seen him live to understand.sad day. ❤😢
I know what you mean. Saw them in Las Vegas in 2006, and just the same. Shane the Immortal!
I was there too...RIP Shane
Shane you will ever life in our hearts. Germany love`s you forever. Thank you for your presence, for your wonderful music.
Absolutely beautiful - such a voice - the artist at his best after decades of work- you can really hear his life - thanks so much for sharing - such a sad loss for us all
R.i.p.Mr.Shane. I went through life many times with your songs, be it hard or good times... But with your songs and your voice I always felt calm and peaceful. Where you are now I wish you to give everyone a part of yourself through your songs...with a cigarette and whiskey❤🙏
RIP Shane - Thank you for the music written for all of us from those dirty old towns - God Bless you are home now.☘☘☘
Rest in Peace Shane, thank you for bringing light and joy into the world.
RIP Mr.McGowan! May you flow with rivers of whiskey to heaven. We lost a poet🥃

Will never forget your brixton performance . What an amazing gig. RIP Shane Irish hero and poet 🇮🇪

Goosebumps....Till the end. RIP Shane 💫 enjoy singing with the angels💖🕊️💫🙏🏻
This song is playing constantly in pubs in my home province of Newfoundland Canada but no band can ever do better than this
One of the first tunes I learnt to play on my Blues Harp and it still resonates with me 36 years after its release.
How old were you when you started learning the harp?
I can't stop listening to Shane since i went to his funeral i am obsessed in a good way RIP SHANE .
Toujours le même frisson quand je l'écoute.... merci beaucoup MONSIEUR 😢
We all have a dirty old town in our past, in our memories... not the worst, not the best memories, but they cling with us. This song manages to revive it all in a very vivid manner. Amazing...
Agreed
I was driving in my car once, and this song popped up on my CD player. My friend asked me “what town are they singing about”. I told him that it is about a place which I used to work in, Sun Valley, CA. /s
That's beautiful. Yeah.
Saw them live 10 years ago in Manchester. Simply a great band.
Bet it was great. I would have loved to have seen them.
I have commented on this before brilliant how many lives has this man made so many connections with people God bless I can only hope I have made a meger contribution to this world when I go Lee
One of my favourite songs of all time! Magnificent performance!
Si very good
Yes! This is what it's all about. It doesn't need to be "perfect" with a great show with fire and light and staged beautiful singers. The music needs to bring joy, and look at the joy they are bringing the crowd! Excellent, this is what music is about for me.
F
To my dad rip great song
I love this song
Dirty old Town dirty old Town
I'm gonna replay it
I heard a siiiiiiiiiiiren from the dock
Jheeze Shane can still get the crowd going! I'm amazed at his sheer resilience truthfully- He's been a hellraiser forever! Good for him!
How does he even remember the words? Do you think he is REALLY this loaded---or is it part of his mystique and charm???
@@TheSaint007 he's loaded!🤪
Shane we miss you so much, you are the greatest
Listening from Ireland on St Patrick’s Day 2024 💚☘️
Born and raised in a coal mining town. This song brings me back home every time I hear it. God Bless The Pogues.
Agree absolute classic
Every time for me too x
When I put this on the duke box in the pub everyone gets up and has a good old dance
Brought up surrounded Pits,Slag Heaps,trains belch ot black smoke,loved it ,working class ,no surrender
Me too 3 cement factories around it
Shane is simply unique - one of the most talented singer / songwriters ever -and that's quite a statement.
Hahahaha! Really...
I have to say, He is a fascinating Man.
Whats really sad is you will never see anything like this again.
One of the most talanted, even though his brain has been running on 10 percent capacity.
Shane didn’t write it itvwas wrote by Ewan Mcoll who lived in Salford lower Broughton where I live now
This is THE MUSIC, so beautiful🎉❤
REST EASY SHANE 💔 LOVE FROM SCOTLAND MY FRIEND 🏴❤
The old mans face in the flat cap playing the guitar says it all! Music of the soul, age is just a number
he was 55, died a few months later of cancer
He was "only" one of the begginers of the band!
@@Bianchess However did he keep performing??? I was sooo sick I crawled if I had to go to the br--- or ANYWHERE!!! From the cancer--- or all the chemo? Not sure--- but I sure wasn't singing!!!!!! By the way---- this is Linda using Duane's computer.
And I was MUCH younger than 55!!!!
Again----Linda comment- not Duane!
this is the one band that i never saw live and the biggest regret ever - they were only in my country a couple of times and i missed them in my city - i will never get over that one
It can be worst! I saw them in Athens Greece without Shane Macgowan!
What country . .§?
Which country ?
I also saw them live, and Shane was too wasted to climb the steps to the stage... band were obviously used to it as they left him them to sleep it off and did an amazing full set without him
saw them in 1984 and 1988
among the best concerts i have ever seen
Been listening to these guys so good to hear about your experience with life goes on lucky enough to get together and have a good time

Your music never die, thx Shane. R.I.P.
This is even better when your actually born in Salford like me ,must of heard it a 1000 times played live back in the 80s in every pub in Salford .
I tried to see them quite a few times back in the 90's. Once I succeeded. Fantastic and legendary concert , they were only 45 minutes late that day.
😂😂😂😂😂
Guys a legend…..also just want to add without backlash..I’m a fan …..I admire Shane..I love his work….I want to add….anyone with drive and spirit and dedication can reach the top without having a great voice
Goodbye Shane, thank you for the music. You were a super star 🌟 😢
The power of music.... the power of passion.... extraordinary performance because it came from the heart and spoke to the audience.... real music.... real words.... Shane McGowan was inspirational.... as are the Pogues....
