Silver Town is the fourth studio album by The Men They Couldn't Hang. It was released in 1989 under the Silvertone label and recorded at Woodcray Manor Studios in Berkshire. There were three singles released from the album, A Place in the Sun, Rain, Steam & Speed and A Map of Morocco. Rosettes was originally earmarked as a single but was cancelled due to the Hillsborough disaster as the song's lyrical content centred on the football hooligan culture at the time.

Rain is the cold Steam is the burn Speed is the way the world turns round. Draughtsmen and surveyors work at pegging out the shaft Ten of us to breathe the dust, ten to do the graft Underneath the Pennine range the bodies lie in racks Forty miles of steel and tile follow in their tracks. Some men build a monument Some men build a tomb Some men move the world around To give them breathing room And some men build a statue Of Isambard Brunel Some men carve a tunnel into hell.

Highlights of Silver Town included "Rain, Steam and Speed", "A Place in the Sun" and "Rosettes". Silver Town was the only TMTCH album to reach the UK Top 40 album chart, peaking at No. 39. They followed this up in 1990 with "The Domino Club", which had a more conventional rock sound dispensing with much of the folk element. On Thursday 8 October 2009, almost 25 years since The Men They Couldn't Hang played their first proper gig in Camden Town at The Electric Ballroom, they returned for the official 25 Year Anniversary Celebration. 2012 saw the release of an album from Stefan Cush's new band, "the Feral Family" and Paul Simmonds was recording and touring with roots singer Naomi Bedford as well as numerous live dates for TMTCH.

Rain Steam & Speed Lyrics. One man drills a powder-hole the colour of a bruise One man sounds the bugle and another one lights the fuse Blow up! Pick and shovel it! Carry the earth away Brains and brawn with hammers drawn blasting through the day. Rain is the cold Steam is the burn Speed is the way the world turns (round). Soon they'll build a tunnel under England through to France Will it make the tide run quicker? Will the flow of trade advance? Underneath the ocean there is limestone, chalk and sand But coming up through virgin rock will be the human hand!
