Subject: RE: Help: A Pair of Brown Eyes (The Pogues)
I think that McGrath once again gets about as close to it as anyone. The lyrics consist of scraps of memory of an evening when the speaker was "drunk to hell", and he may well be drunk to hell as he tries to recount them: it all comes out chaotic and confused, but with a kind of powerful emotional truth underlying it.
