Rain Street (with Joe Strummer) [Live]

The church bell rings, an old drunk sings

A young girl hocks her wedding ring

On Rain Street

Down the alley the icewagon flew

Picked up a stiff that was turning blue

Local kids were sniffin' glue

Not much 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 for I have sinned

I got pissed and I got pinned

God can't help the state I'm in

On Rain Street

There's a Tesco on the sacred ground

Where I pulled her knickers down

Judas took his measly price, St. 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

The toilet moved so again I missed

Down Rain Street

I sat on the floor and I 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 on Rain Street went on for miles

That night on Rain Street, somebody smiled
