Sea And Sand

歌詞

Here by the sea and sand Nothing ever goes as planned I just couldn't face going home It was just a drag on my own They finally threw me out My mother got drunk on stout My dad couldn't stand on two feet As he lectured about morality Now I guess the families complete With me hanging round on the street Or here on the beach The girl I love Is a perfect dresser Wears every fashion Gets it to the tee Heavens above I got to match her She knows just how She wants her man to be Leave it to me My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet I see her dancing Across the ballroom UV light making star shine Of her smile I am the face She has to know me I'm dressed up better than anyone Within a mile So how come the other tickets look much better? Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter How come the girls come on oh so cool Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool? Come sleep on the beach Keep within my reach I just want to die with you near I'm feeling so high with you here I'm wet and I'm cold But thank God I ain't old Why didn't I ever say what I mean? I should have split home at fifteen There's a story that the grass is so green What did I see? Where have I been? Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand
