＂Dirty Old Town＂是英国民歌之父Ewan Mac Coll的杰作．仅仅用一幕戏的１０分钟间歇就写出来了．这首歌控斥了工业化对他的家乡萨尔福德的破坏，成为Mac Coll在英国的第一首引起剧烈反响的金曲．

The Pogues特意把这首歌收录在专辑＂Stream of Whikey＂中．Shane  MacGowan的翻唱别具风味，有嬉笑怒骂，诙谐调侃的戏剧效果．

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Clouds are drifting across the moon
Cats are prowling on their beat
Springs a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
