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

Gm Bb C Am

If I'd a bucket of gold, what would I do

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
