This one's for me auld pal Mick whom myself and his friends & family be saying our last farewells to in a few hours time...

He was born in Glasgow of a Scottish mother & Irish father and he lived in Chicago USA for a number of years. Mick was a staunch socialist and Trade Union Leader & a Teamster during his time in the USA. Sadly he never got to see his one final wish come true, the day 99% of scots wait patiently for, when Maggie Thatcher kicks the bucket (they'll be some celebrations in Scotland when that day comes, I can tell you).

In his younger day's Mick was also a bare knuckle boxer, so I reckon this wee tune by The Pogues is a fitting last tribute to a long time friend and great pal.
