Rain Street Songtext
von The Pogues

The church bell rings, an old drunk sings
A young girl hocks her wedding ring
Down on Rain Street

Down the alley the icewagon flew
Picked up a stiff that was turning blue
Local kids were sniffin′ glue
Fuck, what else for a kid to do
Down Rain Street

Father McGreer buys an ice-cold beer
And a short for father Loyola
Father Joe's got the clap again
He′s drinking Coca-Cola
Down on Rain Street

Bless me Father, I have sinned
I got pissed and I got pinned
God can't help the state I'm in
Down on Rain Street


There′s a Tesco on the sacred ground
Where I pulled her knickers down
While St Anthony gazed in awe at Christ
Judas took his measly price
Down on Rain Street

I gave my love a goodnight kiss
I tried to take a late night fix
But the toiled moved, again I missed
Down Rain Street

I sat on the floor and watched TV
Thanking Christ for the BBC
A stupid fucking place to be
Down Rain Street

My Eileen took me by the hand
Walk with me was her command
I dreamt we were walking on the strand
It was Rain Street

And that night Rain Street went on for miles
That night on Rain Street somebody smiled

Rain Street
Rain Street
Rain Street

It′s time for "A Pair of Brown Eyes"
