Shane MacGowan is an absolute legend. He wrote the song, for heaven's sake!! It's like saying Leonard Cohen murders Hallelujah.*

*Actually you may have a point.

Is that actually a phrase or have you just made it up to make me feel inadequate?

Be Bop Deluxe were an English progressive rock band who achieved critical acclaim and moderate commercial success during the mid to late 1970s.
