As Valentine’s Day #ValentinesDay arrives, here’s one of Ireland’s greatest love poems: Dark-Haired Miriam Ran Away by Patrick Kavanagh (1946), inspired by Hilda Moriarty, a 22-year-old med student he became infatuated with. Later set to music as Raglan Road and famously sung by Luke Kelly.
Well deserved, great show.
Rest well, Andrew. RIP
Rest in Peace, Andrew Ranken, Pogues original drummer. 🙏 🕯️

This graveyard hides a million secrets
The trees know more than they can tell
The ghosts the saints and the scholars will haunt you
In Heaven and in Hell
Rattled by the glimmer man, the holy man and bogey man,
Living in the shadows, the shadows of a gunman.
After changes,we are more or less the same.
The Boxer.

There's always a catch.....
He's in with a dance.
The best lack all conviction,
The worst are full of passionate intensity.

Oh the seagulls are calling
And the wind is in the quay
And she's fast moving out to the sea
On a ship bound for St. John's
3000 miles away
A human cargo my comrades and me
Sounds like it split the G.
The #pogues Peace and Love album is dedicated to the 95 people, who at the time of release, had died following Hillsborough tragedy. Here's a fine track from that album, penned by a man who attended the match, Phil Chevron. Rip to the 97.
