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)
