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
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, silver would do
I´d leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And I´m going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
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, silver would do
I´d leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And I´m going down in Silvertown

Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown

From the Canning 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 JFK

If I´d a bucket of gold, silver would do
I´d leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And I´m going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
