Lyrics:

I met my love by the gasworks wallDreamed a dream by the old canalI kissed my girl by the factory wallDirty old townDirty old townClouds are drifting across the moonCats are prowling on their beatSprings a girl from the streets at nightDirty old townDirty old townI heard a siren from the docksSaw a train set the night on fireI smelled the spring on the smoky windDirty old townDirty old townI''m gonna make me a big sharp axeShining steel tempered in the fireI''ll chop you down like an old dead treeDirty old townDirty old townI met my love by the gasworks wallDreamed a dream by the old canalI kissed my girl by the factory wallDirty old townDirty old townDirty old townDirty old town
