Silvertown Blues [Radio Edit]
On Silvertown Blues the cranes stand high Quiet and gray against the still of the sky
They won't quit and lay down though the action has died They watch the new game in town on the Blackwall side
From the poisonous drains a vision appears A new circle of cranes, a new reason to be here
A big silver dome rising up into the dawn Above the church and the homes where all the silver is gone
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do I'd leave the story untold Silvertown Blues
Going down in Silvertown Down in Silvertown Going down in Silvertown Down in Silvertown
A silver dawn steals over the docks A truck with no wheels up on the cinderblocks
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum Scrap metal schemes rusted over and done
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do I'd leave the story untold Silvertown Blues
And I'm going down in Down in Silvertown Going down in Silvertown Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Down in Silvertown
When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice You can knock and walk in for citizens' advice
They'll tell you where you can turn, where you can go There's nothing they can tell me I don't already know
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do I'd leave the story untold Silvertown Blues
And I'm going down in Down in Silvertown Going down in Silvertown Down in Silvertown
From the Caning Town train I see a billboard high There's a big silver plane rising up into the sky
And I can make out the words 'seven flights every day' Says six of those birds are bound for J. F. K
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do I'd leave the story untold Silvertown Blues
And I'm going down in Down in Silvertown Going down in Silvertown Down in Silvertown
