Mark Knopfler
Silvertown Blues

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 poisinous drains a vision appears
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 were 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 Silvertown
Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown

A silver dawn steals over the docks
A truck with no weels up on cinderblocks
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
Scrap metal schemes are rusted over and done

If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown

When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice
You can knock and walk in for citizens' advice
They'll tell you the 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
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown

From the Caning Town train I see a billboard high
There's a big silverplane raising 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 Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown


Mirror lyrics:

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

Says six of those birds are bound for JFK
And I can make out the words 'seven flights every day'
There's a big silverplane raising up into the sky
From the Caning Town train I see a billboard high

Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do

There's nothing they can tell me I don't already know
They'll tell you the where you can turn, where you can go
You can knock and walk in for citizens' advice
When you're standing on thin and dangerous ice

Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
If I'd a bucket of gold, silver would do

Scrap metal schemes are rusted over and done
Men with no dreams around a fire in a drum
A truck with no weels up on cinderblocks
A silver dawn steals over the docks

Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
Down in Silverdown
Going down Silvertown
I'd leave the story untold Silvertown blues
If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do

Above the church and the homes were all the silver is gone
A big silver dome rising up into the dawn
New circle of cranes, a new reason to be here
From the poisinous drains a vision appears

They watch the new game in town on the Blackwall side
They won't quit and lay down though the action has died
Quiet and gray against the still of the sky
On Silvertown Way, the cranes stand high
