I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canalI kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old townDirty old town
Clouds are drifting across the moonCats are prowling on their beatSpring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old townDirty old town
I heard a siren from the docksSaw a train set the night on fireI smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old townDirty old town
I'm gonna make me a good sharp axeShining steel tempered in the fireI'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old townDirty old town
I met my love by the gas works wallDreamed a dream by the old canalI kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old townDirty old townDirty old townDirty old town
