THE POGUES lyrics : "Rain Street "

(Shane MacGowan)
The church bell rings
An old drunk sings

A young girl hocks her wedding ring
Down on Rain Street


Down the alley the icewagon flew
Picked up a stiff that was turning blue
The local kids were sniffin' glue

Not much else for a kid to do
Down Rain Street


Father McGreer buys an ice cold beer
And a short for Father Loyola
Father Joe's got the clap again

He's drinking Coca-Cola
Down on Rain Street


Bless me Father I have sinned
I got pissed and I got pinned
And God can't help the shape I'm in

Down on Rain Street

There's a Tesco on the sacred ground

Where I pulled her knickers down
While Judas took his measly price
And St Anthony gazed in awe at Christ

Down on Rain Street

I gave my love a goodnight kiss

I tried to take a late night piss
But the toiled moved so again I missed
Down Rain Street


I sat on the floor and watched TV
Thanking Christ for the BBC

A stupid $#&@ing place to be
Down Rain Street


I took my Eileen by the hand
Walk with me was her command
I dreamt we were walking on the strand

Down Rain Street

That night Rain Street went on for miles

That night on Rain Street somebody smiled
