"I decorated the walls of that shithole apartment with my holly jolly thinky parts." Dayummm, there's a line that'll stick in the noggin for hours. Right along with that catchy "Galway Bay."
Well, I watched the Pogues video for fairytale of New York to make sure I had the lyrics right, and I never realized that Matt Dillon(actor) had a cameo and later became friends with the band…. 45 years old and still learning.

And the story behind the Pogues band name is a kick as well!
Ah— póg mo thóin. The cheek on them! I never knew.
Cracks me up every time I hear of them. ✌️😎
I was tickled how you brought in the pogues’ lyrics- an off the wall ghost story Nathan
Thanks posy. I’m never sure if that is a deep cut or everybody knows that song. It is a Christmas staple around my house.
I think it’s a favourite across several generations
Now there's a ghost story I did not expect. An excellent piece of writing Nathan and a perfect strike back against the capitalist view of death.
Thanks Anne. I really appreciate the read, and the kind words.
Great job, Nathan! And I agree with Jean about that line.
