Dirty old town

I met my love by the gasworks wall dreamed a dream by the old canal kissed a girl by the factory wall dirty old town, dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon cats are prowling on their beat springs a girl on the street at night dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks saw a train set the night on fire smelled the spring on the smokey wind dirty old town, dirty old town I'm gonna make me a big sharpe axe shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like a dead old tree dirty old town, dirty old town I met my love by the gasworks wall dreamed a dream by the old canal kissed a girl by the factory wall dirty old town, dirty old town
