The Church Bell Rings - Pogues
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 f_cking 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
