Analysis of Dirty Rotten Town
Edbo 1967 (Hospital)
We had some bruised and battered nights
We did some stumbling around
There's just so many sights
In this dirty rotten town
I caught your face in the light
Can't keep my feet on the ground
There's just too many lonely nights
In this dirty rotten town
And if you were to tell me your secrets
I doubt I'd tell you mine
Don't matter if it's the truth
Fallen angel of mine
Just to do anything with you
Would be alright
