Silverlake Lyrics - Homesick - 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
