[Verse 1]
On Silvertown Way, 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
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 were all the silver is gone, gone, gone
[Pre-Chorus]
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do?
I'd leave the story untold
Silvertown blues
[Chorus]
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
[Verse 2]
A silver dawn steals over the docks
A truck with no wheels up on cinderblocks
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
Scrap metal schemes are rusted over and done, done, done
On Silvertown Way, 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
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 were all the silver is gone, gone, gone
[Pre-Chorus]
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do?
I'd leave the story untold
Silvertown blues
[Chorus]
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
[Verse 2]
A silver dawn steals over the docks
A truck with no wheels up on cinderblocks
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
Scrap metal schemes are rusted over and done, done, done
