"Tuesday Morning" is the sound of the Pogues learning to live without Shane MacGowan. It came off Waiting for Herb, the first album the band made after his exit, in 1993, and the song belonged to Spider Stacy, who wrote it.
It's a brisk, bright folk-rock tune, more bittersweet stroll than drunken brawl, and it gave the new-look band a real hit: 18 on the UK Singles Chart, their last trip into the UK top 20, and 11 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks, their biggest single internationally. It also brought them to Top of the Pops for the final time. Fittingly, the video stitched together clips from Pogues videos past, a look back even as the band pushed on.
