That's a nice statement. I'll have to track down the version by pogues and the link you gave us..I am familiar with Tom Waited version, his style is suited to the song and another artist, Joan Baez I think but likely wrong. When I've got time I get onto it. Your post has motivated me to a listening session and that's what uhh is for: to motivate us. Cheers.

The Pogues version is not a happy song and emphasizes war and its effects.

Sadly, hardly what one would call a tribute. Just listen to the words. This was written as a anti-war ballad by Eric in 1972. According to Bogle it was ostensibly about Gallipoli but was in fact intended as a “veiled attack on Australian participation in the Vietnam War (which he strongly opposed)” I don’t think Bogle ever meant it to be considered/known as a tribute song, but rather a warning as to the consequences of war.

Dang good one, too. Speaking as a conservative, how many boondoggles have we been led into, including Vietnam and then Iraq?
