Dirty Old Town The Pogues Lyrics

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 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 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 gonna make me a big sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I ll chop
