[Verse 1]
The church bell rings, an old drunk sings
A young girl hocks her wedding rings
Down Rain Street

[Verse 2]
Down the alley the ice wagon flew
Picked up a stiff that was turning blue
The local kids were sniffin' glue
There ain't much else for kids to do
Down Rain Street

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
There's a Tesco on the sacred ground
Where I pulled her knickers down
While Judas took his measly price
As Saint Anthony gazed in awe at Christ
Down on Rain Street
[Verse 6]
I gave my love a goodnight kiss
I tried to take a late night piss
But the toilet moved, so again I missed
Down Rain Street

[Verse 7]
I sat on the floor and watched TV
Thanking Christ for the BBC
A stupid fucking place to be
Down Rain Street

[Verse 8]
I took my Eileen by the hand
"Walk with me," was her command
I dreamt we were walking on the strand
Down Rain Street

[Outro]
That night, Rain Street went on for miles
That night on Rain Street, somebody smiled
