Dirty Old Town
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Chorus :
Dirty old town (2x)
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
(Chorus)
Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smokey wind
(Chorus)
I'm going to make a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down like an old dead tree
(Chorus)
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
(Chorus)
