Dirty Old Town Lyrics by Vagabond Opera

Get On The Train

2004

I met my love by the gasworks wall
I 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
I 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 strong axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
I’ll cut you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town, dirty old town
[Break]
I met my love by the gasworks wall
I 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
