The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash album cover | |||||||||||||||
Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash is the second album by The Pogues, released in 1985. The title for the album is a quote often attributed to Winston Churchill ("Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.")
The cover artwork is based on The Raft of the Medusa, a painting by Théodore Géricault, with the band members' faces replacing those of the men on the raft. Shane MacGowan claimed that the title was suggested by drummer Andrew Ranken. Track listing: 1. "The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn" (MacGowan) – 2:59 2. "The Old Main Drag" (MacGowan) – 3:19 3.
