@ARTIST: The Pogues @ALBUM: Hell's Ditch @SONG: Sunnyside Of The Street Seen the carnival at Rome Had the women I had the booze All I can remember now Is little kids without no shoes So I saw that train And I got on it With a heartful of hate And a lust for vomit Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street Stepped over bodies in Bombay Tried to make it to the U.S.A. Ended up in Nepal Up on the roof with nothing at all And I knew that day I was going to stay Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street Been in a palace, been in a jail I just don't want to be reborn a snail Just want to spend eternity Right where I am, on the sunnyside of the street As my mother wept it was then I swore To take my life as I would a whore I know I'm better than before I will not be reconstructed Just wanna stay right here On the sunnyside of the street (MacGowan/Finer) S.MacGowan - vocals S.Stacy - whistle J.Finer - Banjo, lap steel T.Woods - mandolin P.Chevron - acc. gtr.

My heart was pounding like a hammer Thai Thai Thai Thai Thai! I am free She kissed me softly on the lips She took my hand without a sound This was our happy ever after So motherfucker kiss the ground (MacGowan) S.MacGowan - vocals S.Stacy - whistle J.Finer - banjo J.Fearnley - accordion P.Chevron - acc. gtr.

There goes the breakfast bell Back from heaven, back to hell Naked howling freedom - Hell's Ditch (MacGowan/Finer) S.MacGowan - vocals S.Stacy - whistle A.Ranken - drums D.Hunt - bass J.Fearnley - accordion, acc. gtr. J.Finer - mandola, hurdy-gurdy T.Woods - cittern Perc. - Pogues @SONG: Lorca's Novena Ignacio lay dying in the sand A single red rose clutched in a dying hand The women wept to see their hero die And the big black birds gathered in the sky Mother of all our joys, mother of all our sorrows Intercede with him tonight For all of our tomorrows The years went by and then the killers came And took the men and marched them up the hill of pain And Lorca the faggot poet they left till last Blew his brains out with a pistol up his arse Mother of all our joys, mother of all our sorrows Intercede with him tonight For all of our tomorrows The killers came to mutilate the dead But ran away in terror to search the town instead But Lorca's corpse, as he had prophesied, just walked away And the only sound was the women in the chapel praying Mother of all our joys, mother of all our sorrows Intercede with him tonight For all of our tomorrows (MacGowan) S.MacGowan - vocals S.Stacy - whistle, harmonica J.Finer - hurdy-gurdy P.Chevron - elec. gtr.
