Lyrics Turkish Song of the Damned (The Janice Long Show) [November 1986] [Live] - The Pogues
I
come
old
friend
from
hell
tonight
Across
the
rotting
sea
Nor
the
blood
of
Christ,
nor
the
nails
of
the
cross
Can
bring
you
help
this
eve
The
dead
have
come
to
claim
a
debt
from
thee
They
stand
outside
your
door,
four
score
and
three
Did
you
keep
a
watch
for
the
dead
man's
wind?
Did
you
see
the
woman
with
the
comb
in
her
hand?
Wailing
away
on
the
wall
on
the
strand
As
you
danced
to
the
Turkish
song
of
the
damned
When
you
left
to
start
the
day
I
was
standing
on
the
deck
The
captain's
corpse
jumped
up
And
threw
his
arms
around
my
neck
For
all
these
years,
I've
had
him
on
my
back
This
debt
cannot
be
paid
with
all
your
jack
Did
you
keep
a
watch
for
the
dead
man's
wind?
Did
you
see
the
woman
with
the
comb
in
her
hand?
Wailing
away
on
the
wall
on
the
strand
As
you
danced
to
the
Turkish
song
of
the
damned
Did
you
keep
a
watch
for
the
dead
man's
wind?
Did
you
see
the
woman
with
the
comb
in
her
hand?
Wailing
away
on
the
wall
on
the
strand
As
you
danced
to
the
Turkish
song
of
the
damned
And
as
I
sit
and
talk
to
you
I
see
your
face
go
white
This
shadow
hanging
over
me
Is
no
trick
of
the
light
The
spectra
on
my
back
will
soon
be
free
The
dead
have
come
to
claim
a
debt
from
thee
Did
you
keep
a
watch
for
the
dead
man's
wind?
Did
you
see
the
woman
with
the
comb
in
her
hand?
Wailing
away
on
the
wall
on
the
strand
As
you
danced
to
the
Turkish
song
of
the
damned
Did
you
keep
a
watch
for
the
dead
man's
wind?
Did
you
see
the
woman
with
the
comb
in
her
hand?
Wailing
away
on
the
wall
on
the
strand
As
you
danced
to
the
Turkish
song
of
the
damned
Did
you
keep
a
watch
for
the
dead
man's
wind?
Did
you
see
the
woman
with
the
comb
in
her
hand?
Wailing
away
on
the
wall
on
the
strand
As
you
danced
to
the
Turkish
song
of
the
damned
