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
SPRINGS 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 YOU DOWN
LIKE AN OLD DEAD TREE
DIRTY OLD TOWN
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
DIRTY OLD TOWN
DIRTY OLD TOWN
DIRTY OLD TOWN
