I especially love the last verse...which may or may not be about revolution:

"I'm gonna take a good sharp axe,
shining steel tempered in the fire.
We'll cut you down, like an old dead tree
Dirty Old Town, Dirty Old Town".

saw Pogues once and then Shane in various line ups. He was quite crocked the last time I saw him. I liked his Haiti relief video.

It was September '87 in Tralee, they were to wasted to do the third set.
My Grandparent's farm was on the same road as the venue. It was a great time.
