Put their slogans on the factory wall

The lights go down, darkness falls

On the waterfront


We appear from a world of cold and steel

Discarded by the industrial wheel

On the waterfront


But down the dockland late at night

The fires of London burn so bright

No one cares, or sheds a tear

For those who live through their nights of fear

On the waterfront

We live together

On the waterfront

We stay forever

On the waterfront


They push us away, they close the door

In the part of the city that no-one saw

On the waterfront


And so we move like ghosts through a timeless zone

Through the midst of the river we call our home

On the waterfront


But down the dockland late at night

The fires of London burn so bright

No one cares, or sheds a tear

For those who live through their nights of fear

On the waterfront

We live together

On the waterfront

We stay forever

On the waterfront


On the waterfront

We live together

On the waterfront

We stay forever

On the waterfront


We appear from a world of cold and steel

Discarded by the industrial wheel

And no one cares, or sheds a tear

For those who live through their nights of fear

On the waterfront

We live together

On the waterfront

We stay forever

On the waterfront


On the waterfront

We live together

On the waterfront

We stay forever

On the waterfront
