Dirty Old Town by Ewan MacColl + Oct 22 1989 ZEM's #TRIBUTE to Ewan MacColl I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my love by the factory wall Dirty old town Ewan MacColl Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town Ewan MacColl I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town Ewan MacColl
