It was a filthy block of flats

Trash was on the floor

The stink was in my nose

Hinges off the doors



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 me 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's turned brown

The bankers are wankers and every Thursday night

they just vomit on the ground



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



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

Then I turned on her tv



It was all the usual crap

All the usual sleeze

For 10,000 quid

Some bimbo spilled the beans



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
