I like to walk in the summer breeze
Down dalling road by the dead old trees
And drink with my friends
In the hammersmith broadway
Dear dirty delightful old drunken old days
Then the winter came down and I loved it so dearly
The pubs and the bookies where you'd spend all your time
And the old men that were singing
When the roses bloom again
And turn like the leaves
To a new summertime
Now the winter comes down
I can't stand the chill
That comes to the streets around christmas time
And I'm buggered to damnation
And I haven't got a penny
To wander the dark streets of london
Every time that I look on the first day of summer
Takes me back to the place where they gave ect
And the drugged up psychos
With death in their eyes
And how all of this really
Means nothing to me
Now the winter comes down
I can't stand the chill
That comes to the streets around christmas time
And I'm buggered to damnation
And I haven't got a penny
To wander the dark streets of london
Every time that I look on the first day of summer
Takes me back to the place where they gave ect
And the drugged up psychos
With death in their eyes
And how all of this really
Means nothing to me
Now the winter comes down
I can't stand the chill
That comes to the streets around christmas time
And I'm buggered to damnation
And I haven't got a penny
To wander the dark streets of london
To wander the dark streets of london
To wander the dark streets of london
The lyrics DARK STREETS OF LONDON of POGUES is also present in the album Red roses for me (1984)
The Pogues sono una band folk punk anglo-irlandese attiva tra gli anni '80 e '90. Fondati a Londra nel 1982 da Shane MacGowan (cantante) e Jem Finer (chitarra), il gruppo ha saputo mescolare influenze tradizionali irlandesi con un sound rock energico, creando un genere unico che li ha resi iconici. Il loro stile, definito da MacGowan stesso come «musica irlandese per un giovane pubblico rock», è caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi spesso malinconici e profondi, e una forte componente di protesta sociale. Tra i brani più famosi dei Pogues ci sono "Fairytale of New York", una collaborazione con Kirsty MacColl che è diventata un classico natalizio, "A Rainy Night in Soho" e "Streams of Whiskey". L'album "Rum Sodomy and the Lash" (1985) è considerato uno dei loro lavori più importanti. Nonostante le difficoltà interne e la dipendenza di MacGowan, i Pogues hanno lasciato un segno indelebile nella musica folk punk, influenzando generazioni di artisti.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
