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 ♪ (Rain Street) (Rain Street) (Rain Street)
