Dirty Old Town (OGWT 86) Songtext
von The Pogues

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 good 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
