It was an filthy block of flats
Trash was on the floor
The stink was in my nose
Hinges off the door

She took me in her room
All was spick and span
Fixed me up a drink
Turned down all the lamps

And the rain fell down
On the cold hard ground
And the phone kept ringing
And we made sweet love

Why do we live in this strange grey town?
They build it up let it all fall down
Feel like we’re all living in a battleground
Everybody’s jazzed

Why do we live in this strange grey town?
The paint is peeling and the sky’s turned brown
The bankers are wankers every Thursday night
they just vomit on the ground

And the rain fell down
On the cold hard ground
And the phone kept ringing
And we made sweet love
And we made sweet love

Everybody’s dreaming
Everybody’s screaming

Watching the rain fall down

She cooked me up some eggs
Then she made some tea
Kissed me on the check
Then I turned on her tv

It was usual the crap
All the usual sleaze
For 10.000 quid
Some bimbo spilled the beans

And the rain fell down
On the cold hard ground
And the phone kept ringing
And we made sweet love
And we made sweet love
