Pogues, The - If I Should Fall From Grace With God Lyrics
If I should fall from grace with god
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
But the angels won't receive me
Let me go boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
This land was always ours
Was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others
Let them go boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
Bury me at sea
Where no murdered ghost can haunt me
If I rock upon the waves
No corpse can lie upon me
It's coming up three boys
Keeps coming up three boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
If I should fall from grace with god
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
And still the angels won't receive me
Let me go boys
Let me go boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

Pogues, The If I Should Fall From Grace With God Comments
Fuck'n cool👍
Lead singers teeth are stuff of nightmares!!
This Land that belongs to us from our fathers , true a thousand years ago as its true today.
Absolutely class
I will love this band in any given year
Apropos of nothing- what do you do when it actually is your fault?
I worked my guts out, made money, played hard , found someone who liked that lifestyle but in the end couldn’t survive it.
Gone over two years and I’m still struggling to say it’s my fault.
This fuckin slaps
What an incredible video this is. Magical...
emilia clarke anyone?
Thumbs up if a Subaru commercial brought you here
Had never seen the commercial. Just watched. Smiling! Thanks :)
@Maggy Spielman you're welcome
Great song.
Let me go boys
A night of guinness, jameson, some of that great "irish kush", and the pogues, perfect night!
Vinyl Fiend668 “kush” fuck up ya bollox
it refers to forced immigration ,leaving the comfort of old beliefs ,but all understated .Yet very current as the same problem happens with our Islamic brothers .As my County Sligo granny used to say …...…..the more we change ….the more we stay the same
brilliant
Irish boys spilled my pint and it took 20 minutes to get a new one, in the 1980's. I was never pissed in the whole gig. English privilege was born on that fateful day.
long live Ireland!! greetings from Poland
one of the greatest disappointments of my life - that i never saw them live - i listen to them almost daily to this day and all through the 80's - but they only came once to my hometown and i missed the show - i don't think i will ever get over it!
If you are from Chicago you missed Sean falling off the stage at the 45 minute mark due to drunkenness. And the rest of the show was cancelled.
a former colleague told me that a Pogues concert was the only occasion on which he vomited just from exhaustion. I totally believe it.
The Pogues at their best. They were in there prime and looking good. Class.
Shane McGowan is just a beautiful human being, fucked up teeth an all. More intelligence and soul than any singer today.
Who else loves these boys in 2019!???💐 ❤️ 💕
@Conor Magahy This Band never Sucks or pisses me off. With other words, I f...... love them.
@Thomas Mccurdy sorry
Why are you here asking such a boring question? Who cares when people are here? Need attention much?
@vee kay what the hell you want from me? I didnt ask any bloody question at all. So you may tell me what you mean, and i will give you an answer. I wont mint if you could be a little Bit nicer, with people you dont even know.
Shane = LEGEND!!🤘🏻🔥🔥
Orlando bloom
Fuck st paddy wasn't even fucken Irish Quis Separabit
Pogue mahone
Almost fell from grace with God given the all-too-long absence of St.Shane - then along came Giant and the Georges. Check 'em out. Best UK band for many a year
The first album that I bought by the Pogues was "If I Should Fall From Grace With God". It certainly was not the last!
The best song ever of the pogues! Live long to the pogues!
a good one but my favourite is the demo version of Boat Train
At their absolute peak
The Pogues make me proud to be Irish!! Let me go boys, let me go boys... 🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪🍀💋💋💋
@james obrien yeehaa!!!! Thats it boy!! 🙌🙌💋💋💋
@james obrien oh lucky for you hun. What happened to him?? Id love to be there. Yeehaa!! God bless 🤗🤗🤗💋💋💋
This song goes harder than any metal song ever recorded honestly
Love this band
Where the black girls at?
I love the pogues great song .
The Pogues make my old rotten heart pump faster 🥰 music for my soul
Let me go, boys
Let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry.
This land was always ours
Was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others
makes one think???
Brits out, whoever the fuck in..
Now Ireland belongs to the Nigerians, muslims and Eastern Europeans.
@Laurence O'Connor Honestly, pipe the fuck down. There is not one Irish person who doesn't know someone who emigrated to America or England or Australia. Complaining about other people doing the same makes you a filthy hypocrite.
His teeth are legendary
That's your take-away?
As great as Shane is, Spider has a cool voice too.
Is that Colin Farrell at 1:27?
I love my Irish heritage 💜
How about the Pogues into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
@pu tang
The Pogues are Irish punk but they have a huge underlying country vibe. Celtic Country but Country nonetheless.
@Robin Taviner Muricans wouldn't have it, not their type of country music*
*Country music has fallen from from its roots, Grace. I am seriously confused by it anymore, not my Da's country(be rolling in his grave, if I'd buried him😉😃).
@kent Mcquillen yes!
The Pogues are straight up Celtic Punk. There's not really much country there. Unabashedly Irish and in your face about it. They're the reason bands like the Drop Kick Murphy's, The Real MacKenzies, Great Big Sea and others exist. They started it all.
@Christina Cope lol - you must be part irish then, it's the sense of humour.
All the subtleness of a toad splatted with a mash hammer. We English have toad in the hole, you bogtrotters have toad in the road. Jsl
Stated a safe distance from any of us bog-trotting Mick's? Ever hear an Irishman deny it?
Brush your teeth, mate.
best teeth in the universe :)
Beautiful tribute to Ireland!
*NATIONALISM* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PROTECT YOUR HERITAGE!!!
"This land was always ours, was the proud land of our fathers"
Write it today and you're a racist
Only if you just got here in the last couple generations, moron
That audience... that’s the demographic I grew up with and now I have to watch 30 year old films to see it!
oh ppl, how i love this band, it so special and fun, thank you Pogues for your existance, thanks from Russia
Is the singer retarded?
No, he's a genius!
@Cameron Kirby Thanks Cameron, I never heard of them or seen him before
@BigTime Ray They were a great band😁
Not retarded just a junkie.
assolutamente coinvolgente
Fookn Irish tune right there fellas!
Take this how you want, but it seems to me that Irish folk , fun , pubs and frolics are so european, compared to brit thug drinking culture... (and I know the Pogues were London based). Anyway, wonderful "let your hair down" stuff xx
Cheers Shane
Peak of mountain view
Happy St. Paddy's!!
Happy Saint Paddy's Day! ☘
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
Blessings to everyone ! There's some Celtic blood in me! HOW can you not cheer up when you hear this! HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!
The most beautiful thing there is! LOVE!😍
I saw these guys live in 1989-in Boston
magical show
F'ing jealous!!!
So Sean didn't fall off the stage due to drunkenness 45 minutes into the show like he did in Chicago? And the show wasn't then cancelled?
Kat Conn still sounds amazing
Lucky man
Shane in 2019. 😘😘😘
That's the beauty of music, there's something for everybody. I was 16 when I heard of these guys. Living in Maine USA hanging around in irish cafes. I had heard all the rock, punk, jazz and all the rest. But then I heard the Pogues and finally thought "yeah, finally some ugly white guy singing about being poor, drunk and lonely. Finally someone of my heritage that connects to my identity!" Bless you all you drunken bastards!
im drunk does that get highlighted?
Hell yes, the Pogues!!
the intro alone was worth a thumb's up.
It's summer time, and this is that to which you listen.
(Don't split your infinitives! In other words, don't put words in between "to" and the verb that follows it. So, don't say, ". . . this is that you listen to", because you're ending your sentence with a prepostition, with a presposition being a word that comes before a word, which is not the appropriate "ending" for a sentence. Don't end a sentence with something that is a beginning! Unless, you're an uncivilized savage, in which case you are a Democrat, and are thus allowed to do anything you please, regardless of the body count!"
I got this on Cassette when it came out. It blew my mind and stopped me in my tracks. One of only 3 cassette tapes I wore down till it broke.
Wonderful Pogues! Best band ever. RIP Phil.
I remember playing the eponymous CD to death when I first bought it. Still one my favourite Pogues CD and one of my favourite Pogues songs.
I am 45; they made a gig in my own town or Bordeaux when I was 16 and I missed them.
It will be my only regret the day I'll leave this fucking planet, believe me.
This land was always ours
Was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others.
Brits out 🇮🇪✊
Hang in there Shane, you crazy bugger!
Diaspora always spawns the greatest national pride musically I believe
Keep sending me the dylan song fucktards ( I'm glad tee country's overrun by hajiis. Jelly an iced cream5! FUCK off DIE and LEAVE ME BE. Palo NI Verge. Maybe I'll come to SNUFF the "Rooster" meself..?? Far $.59. God Bless Guten Nacht pie siempre!!!! An the WORST

Невероятная музыка. Шейн велик в своём жанре! Москва обожает The Pogues
My favourite song all time.
Robin, Sweden
.....what a talent...my God.
were the Pogues punkers or just punks ?
SHANE M. STILL G.O.A.T. 2019
Love The Pogues though I do its pains me that every single fucking video is plagued by religious nutters and idiotic racists....fuck off back to the shitty hole in the Stone Age you crawled out of you thick cunts and just leave the rest of us alone to enjoy some cracking tunes
What a tune
@LIAM O'MALLEY Makes me want to play hockey....
How come hockey ?
@LIAM O'MALLEY.....LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FedJKZuqFfg
I want this played at my funeral
lead singer is an Englishman
James Wallace, lead singer is Shane McGowan, he’s born in Tipperary Ireland and moved with his parents to England when he was about 11 years old, but anyway, makes no difference where anybody is born, as Ian brown said, “it’s not where you’re from, it’s where your at”.
Where is the 12” version ? Got it from Limewire 20 years ago, but my Ipod crashed.
shit cominging 3s
So this pops up on me HA, such good stuff I am jiggin!
Pure session music, hon the irish
Yee ha!
I work with me dad. I brought along some Pogues cds for something to listen to. Let's just say the Pogues can transcend generations and bridge gaps.
