POGUES - Rain Street lyrics

rate me

The church bell rings<br>An old drunk sings<br>A young girl hocks her wedding ring<br>Down on rain street<br><br>Down the alley the icewagon flew<br>Picked up a stiff that was turning blue<br>The local kids were sniffin' glue<br>Not much else for a kid to do<br>Down rain street<br><br>Father mcgreer buys an ice cold beer<br>And a short for father loyola<br>Father joe's got the clap again<br>He's drinking coca-cola<br>Down on rain street<br><br>Bless me father I have sinned<br>I got pissed and I got pinned<br>And God can't help the shape I'm in<br>Down on rain street<br><br>There's a tesco on the sacred ground<br>Where I pulled her knickers down<br>While judas took his measly price<br>And st anthony gazed in awe at christ<br>Down on rain street<br><br>I gave my love a goodnight kiss<br>I tried to take a late night piss<br>But the toiled moved so again I missed<br>Down rain street<br><br>I sat on the floor and watched tv<br>Thanking christ for the bbc<br>A stupid fucking place to be<br>Down rain street<br><br>I took my eileen by the hand<br>Walk with me was her command<br>I dreamt we were walking on the strand<br>Down rain street<br><br>That night rain street went on for miles<br>That night on rain street somebody smiled
