Mark Knopfler - Silvertown Blues Lyrics
On silvertown way, the cranes stand highQuiet and gray against the still of the skyThey wont quit and lay down though the action has diedThey watch the new game in town on the blackwall sideFrom the poisinous drains a vision appearsNew circle of cranes, a new reason to be hereA big silver dome rising up into the dawnAbove the church and the homes were all the silver is goneIf Id a bucket of gold, what would I doId leave the story untold silvertown bluesGoing down silvertownDown in silverdownGoing down silvertownDown in silverdownA silver dawn steals over the docksA truck with no weels up on cinderblocksMen with no dreams around a fire in a drumScrap metal schemes are rusted over and doneIf Id a bucket of gold, silver would doId leave the story untold silvertown bluesGoing down silvertownDown in silverdownGoing down silvertownDown in silverdownWhen youre standing on thin and dangerous iceYou can knock and walk in for citizens adviceTheyll tell you the where you can turn, where you can goTheres nothing they can tell me I dont already knowIf Id a bucket of gold, silver would doId leave the story untold silvertown bluesGoing down silvertownDown in silverdownGoing down silvertownDown in silverdownFrom the caning town train I see a billboard highTheres a big silverplane raising up into the skyAnd I can make out the words seven flights every daySays six of those birds are bound for jfkIf Id a bucket of gold, silver would doId leave the story untold silvertown bluesAnd Im going down in silvertownDown in silverdownGoing down silvertownDown in silverdown
