![]() Waiting For Herb (1993) [ larger cover art ] |
Too many sad days
Too many Tuesday mornings
I thought of you today
I wished it was yesterday morning
I thought of you today
And I dreamt you were dressed in mourning
But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning
I fell through the window
And I found that I was still breathing
I thought of tomorrow
And the fear that you might leave me
I thought of tomorrow
And I wished it was Monday evening
But I knew that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning
Turn your face from me
I will cover myself with sorrow
Bring Hell down upon me
I will surrender my heart to sorrow
Bring Hell down upon me
And I will say goodbye tomorrow
But I know that you
With your heart beating
And your eyes shining
Would be dreaming of me
Lying with you
On a Tuesday morning

Sorry to pick on you, Stingy, but this argument is so bad, so stupid, so f-ing common and vulgar and repeated by the masses, that I have to rant. Whew, got that off my chest. |

| guasco | Posted: May 05, 2012 - 22:13 Shane McGowan is not singing in this album, the whole album is a little too commercial related to previous ones, but a couple of songs are sooooo good, and this is one of those... Too many sundays... Too many tuesday mornings... Doesn't get out of my mind. |
| Alexandra (Here and Now) | Posted: Jul 26, 2011 - 07:02 I love it when Bill G plays this on a Tuesday morning. |

They have long been one of my favourite bands, it was an honor to see them play because you never know when the legend that is Shane McGowan will be no longer. This shot was taken from stage right (VIP passes come in handy!) |

I saw the most interesting and disturbing documentary on IFC about Shane McGowan. He litterally drank himself insane(er)... Great band, nonetheless During a concert I stood in the middle od the audience he 'consumed' (better: poured into himself) 2(!) bottles of whiskey...and he still was able to sing. And this experience happened to be about 20 years ago... |

Boy, do they EVER, but don't play it around any older hardcore Ozzies! I was in a bungalow in Juara Beach, Tioman Island, Malaysia for a month in the summer of 90, and one day, out on the porch with the Walkman through a pretty good speaker set-up and I had the Pogues doing their historically accurate version, and the Ozzie couple next door perked up their ears, pulled out a flask, and actually were coming over, when old Shane, well, he went and slapped 'em right across the face, and they gave me their backs, and their fingers -- and were gone the next day! Dang, musta hit a nerve! |
| ulibcn (Barcelona Spain) | Posted: Jan 14, 2007 - 04:55 the only decent song on a disatrous CD The Pogues never got over the loss of Shane McDowan |

| go_ski_mully (lakeside in Muskoka) | Posted: Sep 19, 2006 - 08:15 One of the greatst bands ever! ...it sucks to be without the GREAT! Shane McGowan ...but considering he could no longer stand up behind the mike I'd say this tune carries itself superbly with Spider Stacy on vocals!! |
| junebaby65 (Cleveland, OH) | Posted: Sep 19, 2006 - 08:11 I think it's pretty good. Very poppy.. |

While I'll grant that it's not indicative of their angrier side, I really dig this tune. By this time Shane MacGowan and the band had gone their separate ways and it was time for a new direction. I think it holds up. |
