Dirty Old Town Songtext
von Murphy's Pigs

I met my love by the gasworks 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 in 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 in the smoky wind


Dirty old town, dirty old town

I'm gonna make me a good sharp axe
Shiny 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 gasworks wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town, dirty old town

Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Dirty old town, dirty old town
