Dirty Old Town Songtext

Dirty Old Town

1. I met my love by the gaswork's door
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my boy by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town.

2. The moon is shifting behind a cloud
Cats are crawling all along the beat
Springs a girl in the streets at night
Dirty old town, dirty old town.

3.I heard a whistle coming from the docks
And a train set the night in fire,
Smelled the spring on a smokefilled air,
Dirty old town, dirty old town.

4. I'm gonna get me a nice sharp axe,
Shining steal tempered in a fire,
Cut you down like an old dead tree,
Dirty old town, dirty old town.
