On Silvertown way, the cranes stand high Quiet and grey 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 poisinous drains a vision appear New circle of cranes and new reason to be here The big silverdome raising up into the dawn Above the church and the homes were all the silver is gone gone gone If I'd a bucket of gold What would I do Leave the story untold Silvertown blues I'm going down silvertown, down in silverdown I'm going down in silvertown, down in silvertown A silver dawn steals over the dust A truck with no weels upon cinder blocks Men with no dreams around the fire in the docks Scrap metal sceams are rusting over the night night night nitgh If I'd a bucket of gold Silver would do Leave the story untold SongtexteSilvertown blues And I'm going down silvertown, down in silverdown I'm going down in silvertown, down in silvertown When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice You could knock and walk in for citizens advice Tell you the way you can turn, the way you can learn There's nothing they can tell me I don't allready know If I'd a bucket of gold Silver would do Leave the story untold Silvertown blues And I'm going down silvertown, down in silverdown I'm going down in silvertown, down in silvertown From the Canning Town train I saw a bill board high There's a big silverplane raising up into the sky I can make out the words seven flights every day Say's six of those birds are bound for JFK If I'd a bucket of gold Silver would do Leave the story untold Silvertown blues And I'm going down silvertown, down in silverdown I'm going down in silvertown, down in silvertown Going down slivertown, down in silvertown I'm going down in silvertown, down in silvertown Down in silvertown Down in silvertown Down in silvertown Aus Songtexte Mania
