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

Am                  Bb  
I'd leave the story untold

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

Dm                      Bb       
When you're standing on thin and 
          Dm     C Bb
dangerous ice
Dm                     Bb  
You can knock and walk in for 
             Dm        C Bb
citizens' advice
Dm                             Bb
They'll tell you where you can 
                  Dm   C Bb
turn, where you can go
Dm                       Bb      
There's nothing they can tell me 
               Dm      C Bb
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
