Another Lizard Lounge favourite. When we put this on it became a great big singalong with everyone in the whole club joining in. And I mean everyone. It was always such a good feeling when certain songs would bring us all together. The first time I played this song was one of the early New year parties and amongst all the wild rocking and dancing to Nirvana, the Pixies and probably Kylie minogue this fit in seamlessly. The crowd just loved it and it became a staple of the Lizard lounge set list. It was also an almighty drinking song.
This was from the album Rum Sodomy and the Lash which was a constant turntable presence in the Eighties.
I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl from the streets at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
