Barstool Gangster (for Shane MacGowan)

 

Your mumbles, I understood,

as life gives us scars,

we make a choice, of what we should,

whilst saying prayers at bars,

 

in sincerity, and piss taking,

a friend was truly made,

New York song’s awakening,

sweet chant is on parade,

 

your soul goes wherever now,

doesn’t matter if you’re pious,

but surely, not just underground,

as pub-folk don’t want mires,

 

a barstool gangster, I still see,

calling shots, at Philly Ryan’s,

where proud loving Vikki,

is with your chosen scions.
