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
