Deacon Blue - Silverlake lyrics

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
