Time changes
Lost dreams
Moon changes
Now bush
Now city
Eora home
No city
Irish loss
Same dream

See the Judas man in red
All live in rainbow's dread

No home
No all
Eyes wide
No steed
Feel dread
No creed
Rainbow man
Eyes cool
No hurt
No fool

Rainbow Man - Pogues
Pogues' "Rainbow Man" stands as a vibrant testament to the band's signature blend of traditional Irish folk and punk energy. Recorded for their 2010 compilation, the track exemplifies the group's commitment to preserving the spirit of old-timey shanties while injecting them with a modern, driving rhythm. The song features the band's characteristic harmonies and driving fiddle work, capturing the raw, unpolished charm of their earlier recordings. It serves as a dynamic song in their extensive catalogue of sea shanties and folk-inspired tracks, showcasing the enduring appeal of their unique sonic identity that bridged cultural traditions with contemporary rock sensibilities.
