Rain Street

The church bell rings, an old drunk sings

A young girl hocks her wedding rings

Down on Rain Street

Down the alley the icewagon flew

Picked up a stiff that was turning blue

The local kids were sniffing glue

There ain't much else for kids to do

Down Rain Street

Father McGreer buys an ice-cold beer

And a short for Father Loyola

Father John'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 state 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 Saint 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 toilet moved, so again I missed

Down Rain Street

I sat on the floor and watched TV

Thanking Christ for the BBC

A stupid fucking 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

Rain Street

Rain Street

Rain Street
