Shane MacGowan quotes about
drink thirsty
I drink because I’m thirsty,
drink wells
Everyone drinks..........Well, unless they don't.
couple names differences
With The Pogues, at least the first three albums I'll stand by completely, yeah? Because I was in artistic control then, yeah? And the last couple of albums I'll stand by anything that's got my name on it, yeah? But I'll stand by anything that is on The Popes' albums, you know? I wouldn't put stuff out that I didn't like. I don't put out bad music. And I can tell the difference. I know that.
