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
Deacon Blue is a Scottish band formed in Glasgow during the 1980s. Led by talented songwriter Ricky Ross, the group achieved international success with their debut album *Raintown* (1987), which spent over 16 months on the British charts. The album, focused on life in urban Scotland, spawned three top ten hits: "Loaded", "Chocolate Girl" and "Dignity". Their second album, *When The World Knows Your Name* (1989), although more commercially successful, did not receive the same critical acclaim. Some critics accused the band of succumbing to pop success at the expense of artistic integrity. Nevertheless, the public embraced the album, which reached number one on the British charts and produced three top forty hits: "Real Gone Kid", "Fergus Sings the Blues" and "Wages Day". Deacon Blue is considered one of the most important bands in the Scottish music scene of the 1980s.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
