.....one evening in the spring heard a long gone song from days gone by blowing in on the great north wind though it was no lonesome corncrakes cry of sorrow or delight you can hear the cars and the shouts from bars and the laughter and the fights
I've been listening to woods band and the first steeleye span album (which has Terry on it) and the outro to this is really reminiscent of that 70s psych folk vibe. Shows what a versatile band the pogues were - they pulled in so many directions, from 'Punk Clancy brothers' to celtic soul to psychedelic jams. Guess that was also their downfall!
@STFCstoneroses Can't wait either, I usually see them in Glasgow but last year I came down to London to see them, same again this year, can't wait...theres something special about seeing them where they started out. Pogue Mahone.
When it comes to the album If I should Fall From Grace - These demos actually appeal me more, as the sound feels too clean for them in the later release... Anyway, thanks for the upload, and where did you find all this?
Terry Woods very important for them- Actually when he got in,in 1986,their sound improved by far,and they never looked back. I had a chat with him at Heathrow Airport in 1992, brilliant guy,at the end we shook hands and his handshake was so strong that I could feel the honesty within the human being.
Impossible to stop listening to this one...
best song writer ever god bless shane!!!!!!!!
.....one evening in the spring
heard a long gone song from days gone by
blowing in on the great north wind
though it was no lonesome corncrakes cry
of sorrow or delight
you can hear the cars
and the shouts from bars
and the laughter and the fights
One of my favorite songs.
This version is amazing.
One of the best Pogues songs ever. I like the demo best!
Brilliant what a tune love this demo the music is just sheer beauty
Whenever I hear a version of this song I'm never disappointed - brilliant!!!!
Well...I could pretty much put a thumbs up to every single comment here! I just love this song so much and yes, this version is fantastic.
Like this a lot. Terry Woods has some fun in the second half. Can't wait to get my box set, thanks for posting!

Beautiful song..... i used to sing it to my infant, and he fell asleep...... that's a real Lullaby.

Great song with The Pogues!
MacGowans lyrics should be studied as part of the national curriculum....beautiful poetry.
AGREED!!!👍👍👍
I for one welcome and invite everyone to listen to the Pogues. Enjoy them while we can.
I think I like this more than the "finished" version.
Great band,great song!
Thanx for this..
I like this version very much. A bit slower than the others.
God, that man has a way with words…
hope they'll play in/near holland one day again!
as i walked by the riverside...
i agree. for me it's all of the extra improvised stuff from Terry.

Best version of this song. So melodic
He is/was the best contemporary songwriter Britain had/has!
He is Irish 100 % amadáin !
Cheers :)
True enough.
Saw him at a small club in Philly while there on a trip. Good show even though he was pretty plastered.
Darryl Hunt. Good bass man
shit hot
Shane is God.
@TheClarenceter What's wrong with us Yanks listening to this? There are more Irish here than in Ireland anyway.
never, ever, leave London
Sinn Fein.
