Well he's half a world away
But she thought she heard him say
"Someday this all will be clear"

And she calls him on the phone
She says "Darling, don't come home"
There's not much for you to do here

She watches trains go rushing underground
Nothing can escape the sound

Silvertown
(Silvertown)
Silvertown
She can't wait until the sky comes crashing down
On this silver town

And all the fragile tears
Of a girl of tender years
Get lost in the glow of the square

And she wishes she was lost
And she fears the winter frost
She said "Anywhere's better then here"

And now the trees have turned from green to brown
And soon they'll come to cut them down
Silvertown
(Silvertown)
Silvertown
She can't wait until the sky comes crashing down
On this silver town

No one was meant to look like this
(No one was meant to look like this)
No one was meant to look like this
(No one was meant to look like this)
No one was meant to look like this
(No one was meant to look like this)
(No one, No one, No one)

Silvertown
Silvertown
She can't wait until the sky comes crashing down

Silvertown
Silvertown
She can't wait until the ships have run aground
She can't wait until the sky comes crashing down
On this silver town
