Silverlake - Deacon Blue

Forty men in a paper boat

No plan to hand just tearing a hole

To get the water out

Got together on a phone-in show

Oh how we love that talk radio

No one else say’s it like that

Here we are now a-singing songs

We all know where it all went wrong

We’re going to put it right

Oh yeah

One night up at silverlake

John the taxi and Willy the brake

Said all the things that needed said

We named and shamed

And stuck it out on the web

Sorted it at silverlake

Try some of these and turn down all the lights

You might find love unusually nice

More if you care for her

I went on the TV twice

Once for the money and once for advice

I tell it like it is

Come up and see us

One night up at silverlake

The place was jumping, people goin' ape

All the paper and the news

Was waiting for us to say

Let the oil trucks roll away

Won’t forget us in a hurry

All the boys down at silverlake

One night up at silverlake

John the taxi and Willy the brake

Said all the things that needed said

One night up at silverlake

John the taxi and Willy the brake

Said all the things that needed said

We named and shamed

And stuck it out on the web

Sorted it at silverlake

One night up at silverlake

John the taxi and Willy the brake

Said all the things that needed said

We named and shamed

And stuck it out on the web

Sorted it at night at silverlake
