Old Vancouver Town by The Town Pants Lyrics
Well, One thing when it's raining and the streets are bloody cold
You can feel it in your fingers and the faces of the old
And still I can remember and only mainly when I'm told
Of life around the corner and the maladies of old
The drunken midnight choir that Leonard talked about
Was put beneath my window and the songs evolving out
Out the door to join them, "contralto" I will shout
We'll stagger till the morning with a whiskey and a stout
Cause these are the days, although the church is ringing
We'll make the rounds and pack the crowds and leave the places singing
Pass me down (Pass me down)
Three pints down
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town
Singin' through the back streets, the fountains that are chilled
You'll hear us clear to Grandville and the Fraser valey Hills
Down along the station tryin' to (????) you'll hear a mighty chorus throught hte alley (??)
Take me round (Take me round)
Through old Vancouver town
The darling at the ballroom the petal at the Crown
Take me round (Take me round)
Through old Vancouver town
The railway, the road the bailiff and the pump
Daniel boats of 15 married daughter
Of metals in the war and a mean scotch and water
He'll raise up in the morni' with a pillow to his head sayin'
What do you need?
What do you got?
What do you want?
I'll take a shot!
You got the lot!
You lovin' Scot!
So, What do you need? What do you got? (repeat three times)
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Cause these are the days, although the church is ringing
We'll make the rounds and pack the crowds and leave the places singing
Pass me down (Pass me down)
Three pints down
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town
You can feel it in your fingers and the faces of the old
And still I can remember and only mainly when I'm told
Of life around the corner and the maladies of old
The drunken midnight choir that Leonard talked about
Was put beneath my window and the songs evolving out
Out the door to join them, "contralto" I will shout
We'll stagger till the morning with a whiskey and a stout
Cause these are the days, although the church is ringing
We'll make the rounds and pack the crowds and leave the places singing
Pass me down (Pass me down)

We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town
Singin' through the back streets, the fountains that are chilled
You'll hear us clear to Grandville and the Fraser valey Hills
Down along the station tryin' to (????) you'll hear a mighty chorus throught hte alley (??)
