Dirty Old Town
Urban Dreams and Industrial Echoes: Dirty Old Town Insights
Lyrics
Found my love by the gaswork croft
Discovering my love near the gasworks croft.
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Having a dream near the old canal.
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Kissing my girl beside the factory wall.
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Referring to the town as dirty and aged.
I heard a siren from the dock
Hearing a siren sound from the dock area.
Saw a train set the night on fire
Observing a train igniting the night.
Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind
Noticing the scent of spring carried by the sulfured wind.
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town
Reiterating the town's dirty and aged nature.
We're goin' to take a good sharp axe
Expressing the intention to use a sharp axe made of shining steel.
Shining steel, tempered in the fire
Describing the axe as being forged in the fire.
And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree
Announcing the intent to cut down something like an old dead tree.
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Reiterating the town's dirty and aged nature.
Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town
Repeating the description of the town's dirtiness.
And, oh, we'll chop you down
Reaffirming the intention to cut down something.
Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town
Emphasizing the dirtiness of the old town.
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Reiterating the dirty and aged nature of the town.
And, oh, whoa-oh dirty old town
Reaffirming the dirtiness of the old town.
Chop you down one of these days
Stating the future possibility of cutting something down.
