meself Help: Dirty Old Town? Meaning??? (MacColl) (455* d) RE: Help: Dirty Old Town? Meaning??? (MacColl) 05 Feb 23


"He wants to put an axe to the corruption of capitalism." So he doesn't want to put an axe to the 'dirty old town'; that last verse has no connection with the rest of the song or the refrain (need I remind you: "I'll chop you down, like an old dead tree,/Dirty Old Town, Dirty Old Town")?
