Bilingual
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
