The Pogues
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The night stank of diesel
2
A stranger came to town
3
A cold wind blowing
4
And the rain pouring down
5
Street lights flicker
6
And the power lines moan
7
The moon beat down
8
On a river of bone
9
Someone put the lights out
10
No one make a sound
11
You won't find a thing
12
Down in Oretown
13
Foundry spits fire and smoke
14
Air's foul and choking
15
Sky is full of sulphur
16
Hills flat and broken
17
Black fogs and whirlwinds
18
The thunder and rain
19
Open drink madness
20
Purple mad pain
21
The circus is over
22
Exit the clowns
23
Nobody's laughing
24
Down in Oretown
25
The ship's in the harbor
26
Cargo's been pawned
27
Barrooms spilling sailors
28
All shipwrecked at dawn
29
Smelling of salt and rust
30
Uniform's torn
31
Came looking for flowers
32
Only found thorns
33
Dreaming of mermaids
34
In pearly white gowns
35
Captain is sleeping
36
Down in Oretown
37
There's a man down on mainstreet
38
Eyes all aflame
39
Laughing in the thunder
40
Of the Number 9 train
41
Selling old postcards in rusty frames
42
A thousand views of Oretown
43
And they all look the same
44
Dressed up in sandals
45
A barbed wire crown
46
A lot of people lost their minds
47
Down in Oretown
48
Lock up the lawman
49
Let go the thief
50
Round up the grey men
51
Nail them to a tree
52
This town was a palace
53
This town was aglow
54
Well, the sky burned orange
55
And the iron river flowed
56
The night stank of diesel
57
A stranger came to town
58
The night folded over
59
Down in Oretown
