I met my love by the gas works wall <br />Dreamed a dream by the old canal <br />Kissed a girl by the factory wall <br /><br />Dirty old town <br />Dirty old town <br /><br />Clouds a drifting across the moon <br />Cats a prowling on their beat <br />Spring’s a girl in the street at night <br /><br />Dirty old town <br />Dirty old town <br /><br />Heard a siren from the docks <br />Saw a train set the night on fire <br />Smelled the spring on the smoky wind <br /><br />Dirty old town <br />Dirty old town <br /><br />I’m going to make me a good sharp axe <br />Shining steel tempered in the fire <br />Will chop you down like an old dead tree <br /><br />Dirty old town <br />Dirty old town
