The Pogues - Dirty Old Town lyrics

I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old can*l I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Clouds a drifting across the moon Cats a prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town Dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old town Dirty old town I'm going to make me a big sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town Dirty old town I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old can*l I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town Dirty old town
