[Lyrics]
I met my love, By the gas works wall.
Dreamed a dream, By the old canal.
I kissed my girl, By the factory wall.
Clouds are drifting, Across the moon.
Cats are prowling, On their beat.
Spring-s-a girl, From the streets at night.
I heard a siren, From the docks.
Saw a train, Set the night on fire.
Smelled the spring, On the smoky wind.
I'm going to make, Me a good sharp axe;
Shining steel, Tempered in the Fire.
I'll chop you down, Like an old dead tree.
