A beach is a place
where a man can feel
he's the only soul
in the world that's real
But I see a face
coming through the haze
I remember him
from those crazy days
Crazy days
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 '63
I've got a good job
and I'm newly born
You should see me
dressed up
in my uniform
I work in a hotel
all gilt and flash
Remember the gaff
where the doors
we smashed?
Bell Boy!
I got to get
running now
Bell Boy!
Keep my lip
buttoned down
Bell Boy!
Carry this baggage out
Bell Boy!
Always running
at someone's
bl**ding 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
I wander in
early to work
Spend my day
licking boots
for my perks
A beach is a place
where a man can feel
he's the only soul
in the world that's real
But I see a face
coming through the haze
I remember him
from those crazy days
Crazy days
Crazy days
Crazy days
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 '63
People often change
but when I look
in your eyes
You could learn a lot
from a life
like mine
The secret to me
it ain't flown like a flag
I carry it behind
this bl**ding little badge
What says
Bell Boy!
I got to get
running now
Bell Boy!
Keep the lip
buttoned down
Bell Boy!
Carry the bl**dy
baggage out
Bell Boy!
Always running
at someone's heel
You know how I feel
Always running at
someone's heel!.............
