Hello boys I've been away
On a bit of a holiday
To the land where the rivers freely flow
And the cattle roam on the wild callagh
Walking home three parts pissed
I stumbled and fell in the morning mist
I fell and rolled in the hungry grass
That tells the tale of a terrible past
I screamed and ran and dreamt I fell
Down in the depths of a freezing hell
Four million people starved to death
Could smell the curse on their dying breath
Where no one ever wants to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go
To hell which is circular all around
Down in the belly of the big cold ground
The moving shadows were everywhere
The very trees seemed to bend and stare
I remembered the dunes on a Sligo shore
Screamed and ran till I could run no more
Over the fields and across the moor
I ran in the house and slammed the door
What the hell's that over there
A putrefying corpse sitting in that chair
Where no one ever wants to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go
Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home
From bar to bar like a ghost I roamed
I can't forget those things I saw
Been down with the devil in the Dalling Road
One place I don't want to go
Down in the ground where the dead men go
The Pogues are an Anglo-Irish folk punk band active in the 1980s and 1990s. Founded in London in 1982 by Shane MacGowan (vocalist) and Jem Finer (guitar), the group managed to blend traditional Irish influences with an energetic rock sound, creating a unique genre that made them iconic. Their style, defined by MacGowan himself as «Irish music for a young rock audience», is characterized by catchy melodies, often melancholic and profound lyrics, and a strong social protest component. Among the Pogues' most famous songs are "Fairytale of New York", a collaboration with Kirsty MacColl that has become a Christmas classic, "A Rainy Night in Soho" and "Streams of Whiskey". The album "Rum Sodomy and the Lash" (1985) is considered one of their most important works. Despite internal difficulties and MacGowan's addiction, The Pogues left an indelible mark on folk punk music, influencing generations of artists.

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
