It was a filthy block of flats Trash was on the floor A stink was in my nose Hinges off the doors
She took me in her room All was spic 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 and let it all fall down Feel like we're living in a battleground Everybody's jazzed
Why do we live in this strange grey town? The paint is peeling and the sky turned brown The bankers are wankers, every Thursday night They just vomit on that ground
And the rain fell down The cold grey town And the phone kept ringing And we made sweet love And we made sweet love
Everybody's dreaming Everybody's scheming Watching the rain fall down
She cooked me up some eggs Then she made some tea Kissed me on the cheek And I turned on her TV
It was all the usual crap All the usual sleaze For ten thousand quid Some bimbo spilled the beans, yeah
And the rain fell down On the cold grey town And the phone kept ringing And we made sweet love And we made sweet love, yeah
And the rain fell down And we made, and we made, and we made sweet love And the phone kept, the phone kept ringing, yeah
Yeah And the phone kept ringing The phone kept ringing, yeah And the rain... rain... rain... rain.... Rain... rain... rain... rain... rain... rain...

My sweet girl was once his wife He had papers the judge had signed The wind blew hard, it was stormy night He shot me once, but I shot him twice The hand of fate is on me now It pick me up and it kicked me right down Kicked me right down Kicked me right down
I had to save her life Yeah, I gunned him twice Yeah, and I watched him die, watch out boy Yeah, I watched him die
He was a barroom man, the violent kind He had no love for that gal of mine Then one day in a drinking bout He swore he'd throw me right of town The hand of fate is on me now I shot that man I put him underground I put him underground Yes I did
I'm on the run, I hear the hounds My luck is up, my chips are down So goodbye baby, so long now Wish me luck, I'm going to need it child The hand of fate is on me now Yeah it's too late Too late baby, too late now The hand of fate is on me now The hand of fate is heavy now
