Bell Boy lyrics

The beach is a place where a man can feel
He`s the only soul in the world that`s real,
Well I see a face coming through the haze,
I remember him from those crazy days.


Ain`t you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a hundred faces,
I don`t suppose you would remember me,
But I used to follow you back in sixty three.


I`ve got a good job
And I`m newly born.
You should see me dressed up in my uniform.
I work in hotel all gilt and flash.
Remember the place where the doors were smashed?


Bell Boy! I got to keep running now.
Bell Boy! Keep my lip buttoned down.
Bell Boy! Carry this baggage out.
Bell Boy! Always running at someone`s heel.
You know how I feel, always running at someone`s heel.


Some nights I still sleep on the beach.
Remember when stars were in reach.
Then I wander in early to work,
Spend the day licking boots for my perks.


A beach is a place where a man can feel etc.

People often change
But when I look in your eyes,
You could learn a lot from
A job like mine.
The secret to me
Isn`t flown like a flag
I carry it behind
This little badge
What says...


Bell Boy!
