Pogues - Oretown Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The night stank of diesel
  • And a stranger came to town
  • A cold wind blowing
  • And the rain pouring down
  • Street lights flicker
  • And the power lines moan
  • The moon beat down
  • On a river of bone
  • Someone put the lights out
  • No one make a sound
  • You wont find a thing
  • Down in oretown
  • Foundry spits fire and smoke
  • Airs foul and choking
  • Sky full of sulphur
  • Mountains flat and broken
  • Black fogs and whirlwinds
  • Thunder and rain
  • Open drink madness
  • And purple mad pain
  • The circus is over
  • Exit the clowns
  • Nobodys laughing
  • Down in oretown
  • The ships in the harbour
  • Cargos been pawned
  • Barrooms spilling sailors
  • All shipwrecked at dawn
  • Smelling of salt and rust
  • Uniforms torn
  • Came looking for flowers
  • Only found thorns
  • Dreaming of mermaids
  • In pearly white gowns
  • Tain is sleeping
  • Down in oretown
  • Theres a madman down on mainstreet
  • Eyes all aflame
  • Laughing in the thunder
  • Of the number 9 train
  • Selling old postcards in rusty frames
  • A thousand views of oretown
  • And they all look the same
  • Dressed up in sandals
  • And a barbed wire crown
  • A lot of people loose their minds
  • Down in oretown
  • Lock up the lawman
  • Let go the thief
  • Rounding up the grey men
  • Nail them to a tree
  • This town was a palace
  • This town was aglow
  • Then the sky burned orange
  • And the iron river flowed
  • The night stank of diesel
  • A stranger came to town
  • The night folded over
  • Down in oretown
