I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
|: Dirty old town. :|
Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
|: Dirty old town. :|
Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
|: Dirty old town. :|
I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
|: Dirty old town. :|
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
|: Dirty old town :|
|: Dirty old town. :|
