Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - Dirty Old Town lyrics

I met my love by the gasworks croft Dreamed a dream by the old can*l Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats and dogs, prowling on their beat Spring's a girl in the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the fall on the smoky wind

Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town Gonna get myself a good sharp ax Shining steel tempered in the fire Gonna cut you down like a dead old tree Dirty old town, dirty old town I found my love by the gasworks croft Dreamed a dream by the old can*l Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town
