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 stiff that was turning blue

The local kids were sniffin′ glue

There ain't much else for a kid 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 toiled moved so again I missed

Down Rain Street

I sat on the floor and watched TV

Thanking Christ for the BBC

A stupid f- 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
