Been up all night, talking shite, taking pills and dope
Left Shane in the morning when he was running out of coke
Took a cab to my place, to try to get some sleep
When I got there all I got was thrown out on the street
No more, I can't take it, I can't take no more
A monkey on my shoulder always showing me the door
No more, I can't take it, gotta find a plan
Jesus Christ it's a hard old life playing in a rock and roll band
Got a call from a music hall over in the USA
Gonna fly us out there to play on Paddy's Day
We all meet up in Billy's pub to talk about the show
Shane falls off the barstool, breaks his fucking hip
No more, I can't take it, I can't take no more
New York's out the window, singer's on the floor
No more, I can't take it, gonna make a stand
Jesus Christ it's a hard old life playing in a rock and roll band
Tired of all the hotels, the glowing of tvs
Tired of all the nightclubs, the parties and the sleaze
Tired of all the cocaine, the groupies, and the girls
But most of all we're sick and tired of playing with ourselves
No more, I can't take it, I can't take no more
New York's out the window, singer's on the floor
No more, I can't take it, gonna make a stand
Jesus Christ it's a hard old life playing in a rock and roll band
No more, I can't take it, I can't take no more
Got a monkey on my shoulder always showing me the door
No more, I can't take it, gonna make a stand
Jesus Christ it's a hard old life playing in a rock and roll band
The Popes sono un gruppo musicale irlandese formatosi attorno alla figura di Shane MacGowan, frontman storico dei The Pogues. La band fonde elementi di rock, folk tradizionale irlandese e punk, creando un sound unico e riconoscibile. MacGowan, noto per la sua voce potente e le sue testi poetiche spesso dark, ha portato avanti il suo percorso musicale con i The Popes dopo lo scioglimento dei Pogues nel 1996. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo si ricordano "The Ballad of Shane MacGowan", "I'm a Man You Don't Want to Meet" e "The Irish Rover". Sebbene non abbiano raggiunto la stessa fama dei Pogues, The Popes hanno mantenuto una fedele base di fan grazie alla loro musica autentica e al carisma di MacGowan.

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.
