1
On Silvertown Way, the cranes stand high
2
Quiet and gray against the still of the sky
3
They won't quit and lay down though the action has died
4
They watch the new game in town on the Blackwall side
5
From the poisonous drains a vision appears
6
New circle of cranes, a new reason to be here
7
A big silver dome rising up into the dawn
8
Above the church and the homes were all the silver is gone
9
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do
10
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
11
Going down Silvertown
12
Down in Silverdown
13
Going down Silvertown
14
Down in Silverdown
15
A silver dawn steals over the docks
16
A truck with no weels up on cinderblocks
17
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
18
Scrap metal schemes are rusted over and done
19
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
20
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
21
Going down Silvertown
22
Down in Silverdown
23
Going down Silvertown
24
Down in Silverdown
25
When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice
26
You can knock and walk in for citizens' advice
27
They'll tell you the where you can turn, where you can go
28
There's nothing they can tell me I don't already know
29
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
30
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
31
Going down Silvertown
32
Down in Silverdown
33
Going down Silvertown
34
Down in Silverdown
35
From the Caning Town train I see a billboard high
36
There's a big silverplane raising up into the sky
37
And I can make out the words 'seven flights every day'
38
Says six of those birds are bound for JFK
39
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
40
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
41
And I'm going down in Silvertown
42
Down in Silverdown
43
Going down Silvertown
44
Down in Silverdown
