I
met
my
love
by
the
gas
works
croft
J'ai
rencontré
mon

près
du
creuset
à
gaz
Dreamed
a
dream
by
the
old
canal
J'ai
rêvé
d'un
rêve
près
du
vieux
canal
I
Kissed
my
girl
by
the
factory
wall
J'ai
embrassé
ma
copine
près
du
mur
de
l'usine
Dirty

Sale

Clouds
are
drifting
across
the
moon
Les
nuages
dérivent
sur
la
lune
Cats
a
prowling
on
their
beat
Les
chats
rôdent
sur
leur
territoire
Spring′s
a
girl
from
the
streets
at
night
Le
printemps
est
une
fille
des
rues
la
nuit
Dirty
old
town
Sale
vieille
ville
Dirty

I
Heard
a
siren
from
the
docks
J'ai
entendu
une
sirène
venant
des
docks
Saw
a
train
set
the
night
on
fire
J'ai
vu
un
train
mettre
le
feu
à
la
nuit
Smelled
the
spring
on
the
smoky
wind
J'ai
senti
le
printemps
dans
le
vent
enfumé
Dirty
old
town
Sale
vieille
ville
Dirty

Sale

I'm
going
to
make
me
a
good
sharp
axe
Je
vais
me
faire
une
bonne
hache
tranchante,
Shining
steel
tempered
in
the
fire
De
l'acier
brillant
trempé
dans
le
feu
I′ll
chop
you
down
like
an
old
dead
tree
Je
te
couperai
comme
un
vieil
arbre
mort
