On Brighton Beach

about

Song inspired by a walk on the beach at Brighton on the southern English coast

lyrics

It's getting kinda lazy
But it's alright
It's getting kinda hazy
But over here it's bright

I was into rockabilly
When I wore my red shoes
These memories go so far back
I've got the civil war blues

And it's one for the money
It's two for the beat
It's three for the waves
On Brighton Beach

These industrial towns
Of mining and steel
Where they've all disappeared to
Nobody can reveal

But I'm flying so high
Way above the houses
See that clothesline in the wind
T-shirts, trousers and blouses

And it's one for the money
It's two for the beat
It's three for the waves
On Brighton Beach

After the deluge
Before the flood
Going where the weather
Suits my blood
I'm taking it to the limit
Taking it down the line
Taking it to the wire
As we turn back time

And it's one for the money
It's two for the beat
It's three for the waves
On Brighton Beach
