Shane was in the mould of so many poets, writer,and fellow musicians like he said pick up things floating around then grabbing it before some other writer gets it,an English boy with a rebel heart may that contradiction confused him at first,but once he found his place what a gift it was , fantastic RIP❤

I feel like I've lost a close friend that I never met.
May the wind that blows from haunted graves
Never bring you misery
May the angels bright
Watch you tonight
And keep you while you sleep
Lulaby Of London
Shane MacGowan
Been in a palace, I've been in a jail
I just don't want to be reborn a snail
I just want to spend eternity
Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street
Sunnyside Of The Street
Shane MacGowan
And when I die, don't bother me
Just dig me a six foot hole
With a candle at my head and feet
And a jar of alcohol

Me too mate you forgot this:
"And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground
But you'll stick your head back out and shout "We'll have another round"
At the graveside of Cúchulainn we'll kneel around and pray
And God is in his Heaven and Billy's down by the bay (yah!)"
Cheers from Strya.
