On The Waterfront Lyrics - Anti-nowhere League

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
