Sea And Sand lyrics

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
U V light making starshine
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
I should have split home at fifteen
Why didn`t I ever say what I mean?
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
