If the Pogues had written a follow up to this song, the UN-gentlemanly soldier would have died a horrific death. And the gal woulda turned intoa badass drinking girl who went on to have a bar named after her.
i think youre making a big things and out something that doesnt matter, if you speak to shane and he has made it clear he considers himself Irish, which he probably does, then that is that. Its pointless to argue on the internet. The Pogues are an Angalo-Irsh band, everyone knows it so it does not matter.
It may not matter to you but it does to Shane. He is Irish, from Irish parents born into an Irish family but born in Kent over Christmas when they were visiting relatives. I take it you woulnd’t deny black people born in the US their African roots and heritage ?

this song makes me laugh XD
Not the singer, the character in the song.
