Dirty Old Town
I met my love
by the factory walls
dreamed a dream
by the old canal
And I kissed my girl
by the gas works wall
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
I heard a siren
coming from the docks
saw a train
set the night on fire
I smelled the spring
on the smoky wind
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
clouds are drifting
across the moon
cats are prowling
on their beat
spring's a girl
from the streets at night
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
I'm gonna make me
a good sharp ax
with shinny steel
tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down
like an old dead tree
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
I met my love
by the factory walls
dreamed a dream
by the old canal
And I kissed my girl
by the gas works wall
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
by the factory walls
dreamed a dream
by the old canal
And I kissed my girl
by the gas works wall
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
I heard a siren
coming from the docks
saw a train
set the night on fire
I smelled the spring
on the smoky wind
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
clouds are drifting
across the moon
cats are prowling
on their beat
spring's a girl
from the streets at night
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
I'm gonna make me
a good sharp ax
with shinny steel
tempered in the fire
I'll chop you down
like an old dead tree
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
I met my love
by the factory walls
dreamed a dream
by the old canal
And I kissed my girl
by the gas works wall
It's a dirty old town
It's a dirty old town
