Rain Street
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 child that was turning blue
The local kids were sniffin' glue
Fuck, what 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
And St Anthony gazed in awe at Christ
Judas pays his measly price
Down on Rain Street
I gave my love a midnight kiss
I tried to take a late night piss
But the toilet moved, 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
