A Bit Late for the Fourth

Here’s the Pogues’ “USA” off of Peace & Love. Fantastic track that almost excuses “Blue Heaven”. Almost.

The video’s goofy and worthless, but the song’s worth a listen. For those who have trouble with Shane’s vocals, full lyrics here. It always reminds me of a few failed relationships, except for the “cold bright needle” bit. That part reminds me of one very specific relationship. Heroin’s a helluva drug.

I found the thing
For which I prayed
And came back home
To the USA
With a heart of stone
And now I know
That it’s the same
Wherever you go
