Dirty Old Town - Ewan McColl [aka Ewan McCall]; copyright 1985
		We were very surprised that Roger Whittaker didn't write this, since he's so well known for singing it. Well, him and the Pogues... I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed a girl by the factory wall Dirty old town , dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Springs a girl in the street at night Dirty old town , dirty old town Heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town, dirty old town I'm going to make me a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town , dirty old town Dirty old town , dirty old town Lead Vocal: Sean Morse Backup Vocals: Linda King Bass: Sean Morse Guitar: Linda King
