Dirty

i met my love by the gas works wall

dreamed a dream by the old canal

i kissed my girl by the factory wall

dirty old town

clouds are drifting across the moon

cats are prowling on their beat

spring's a girl from the streets at night

dirty old town

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

i'm gonna 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

i met my love by the gas works wall

dreamed a dream by the old canal

i kissed my girl by the factory wall

dirty old town

The Pogues
