The Pogues - Rainy Night In Soho

Now that Christmas is past us, let's hear another beautiful Pogues ballad, the wonderful "Rainy Night In Soho", that was the stand-out track on the 1985 Poguetry In Motion EP. It shows the wistful and melancholy balladry of the group to its full and Shane MacGowan the lyricist at his absolute best. This is fine art, albeit art that best fits the inside of a smoky pub.
