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