Текст (слова) песни: Knopfler, Mark - Silvertown Blues

On Silvertown way the cranes stand high
Quiet and gray against the still of the sky
They wont 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 Id a bucket of gold, what would I do
Id 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 Id a bucket of gold, silver would do
Id leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And Im going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown

When youre standing on thin and dangerous ice
You can knock and walk in for citizens advice
Theyll tell you where you can turn, where you can go
Theres nothing they can tell me I dont already know

If Id a bucket of gold, silver would do
Id leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And Im going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown

From the Canning Town train I see a billboard high
Theres 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 Id a bucket of gold, silver would do
Id leave the story untold Silvertown blues
And Im going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
Going down in Silvertown
Down in Silvertown
