The church bell rings, an old drunk sings
A young girl hocks her wedding rings
Rain Street
Down the alley the ice wagon flew
Picked up a stiff that was turning blue
The local kids were sniffin' glue
Ain't much else for kids to do
Down Rain Street
Father McGreer buys an ice cold beer
And a short for Father Loyola
Father John's got the clap again
He's drinking Coca-Cola
Down on Rain Street
Bless me Father, for I have sinned
I got pissed and I got pinned
And God can't help the state I'm in
Rain Street
There's a Tesco on the sacred ground
Where I pulled her knickers down
While Judas took his measly price
As Saint Anthony gazed in awe at Christ
Down on Rain Street
Play on
Bring on
I'm going down
Well I gave my love a goodnight kiss
Tried to take a late night piss
But the toilet moved, so again I missed
Down Rain Street
I sat on the floor and watched TV
Thanking Christ for the BBC
A stupid f**king place to be
Down Rain Street
Took my Eileen by the hand
"Walk with me," was her command
I dreamt we were walking on the strand
Down Rain Street
That night on Rain Street went on for miles
That night on Rain Street, somebody smiled
Thanks
