Gerry Rafferty — Dirty Old Town

I met my love by the gasworks wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Clouds are floating across the moon Cats are prowling upon their beat Spring's a girl in the streets at night Dirty old town, dirty old town I'm going to make a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire We'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town
