Dirty Old Town

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

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 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
