I used to live down on Union Street and listen to the trains go by.Drift along
like a dreary song when I used to want to fly.When you're down on Union Street
the dirtyfaced kids and their dirty feet they're chained in and they give
you cheek on Union Street...
that's where I was born you tell the time by the factory horn, daddy works
from dawn to dawn on Union Street.
He lived thirty years in number nine, the old house down by the railway line
there's a pub on the corner and that's where you find Union Street
Union Street, Union Street, Union Street
That's where I was born you tell the time by the factory horn, daddy works
from dawn to dawn on Union Street.
The old women cackle and the young ones play you can always know when it's
pay day you just get lost along the way to Union Street
Union Street, Union Street
I used to be so sensitive I used to be so shy I used to want to hide who I
was and why
when you're down on Union Street the dirty faced kids and their dirty feet
their chained in and they give you cheek on Union Street
Union Street, Union Street, Union Street,Union Street Union Street Union
Street Union Street
