"Wake of the Medusa" from The Pogues' album "Hells Ditch". Lyrics by Jem Finer.

It was already on youtube (twice!) but not with the proper picture, so here it is!

The guests are stood in silence

They stare and drink their wine

On the wall the canvas hangs

Frozen there in time

They marvel at the beauty

The horror and despair

At the wake of the Medusa

No one shed a tear

Sit my friends and listen

Put your glasses down

Sit my friends and listen

To the voices of the drowned

In the moonlight's ghostly glow

I waken in a dream

Once more upon that raft I stand

Upon a raging sea

In my ears the moans and screams

Of the dying ring

Somewhere in the darkness

The siren softly sings

Out there in the waves she stands

And smiling there she calls

As the lightning cracks the sky

The wind begins to howl

The architects of our doom

Around their tables sit

And in their thrones of power

Condemn those they've cast adrift

Echoes down the city street

Their harpies laughter rings

Waiting for the curtain call

Oblivious in the wings

The casket is empty

Abandon ye all hope

They ran off with the money

And left us with the rope

Hey there bb6 - I wanna just say thanks for guiding me to that track, Hot Asphalt. Never heard it before, me, I think Spider's ok here, sure Shane would have nailed it to the cross and spat the spear of destiny out of it's very ressurection, wonder where he was that day, wonder why he didn't sing it. But this is just another reason why I'm such a Spider fan. He covers Shane's back every time. Always has. I'm still singing Spider Stacey...and yeah, thanks for putting me onto that one. x

Does anyone have a live version? It's my favourite pirate/pogues song.

This isn't the album art....this is The Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault. The album art is a tweaked version with shane shopped in wearing shades.
