Sea And Sand

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 mom got drunk on stout

My dad couldn't stand on two feet

As he lectured about morality

Well 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

Ooh, I got to match her

I know where she wants her man to be

Leave it to me

My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked

Maybe a touch seersucker with an open neck

I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat

In my wartime coat in the wind and sleetI see her dance

Across the ballroom

UV light making star shine on her smile

I am the face

Mmm she has to know me

I'm dressed up better than anyone within a mile

Oh, ah

So how come the other cats look much better?

Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter

How come the girls all 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'm feeling high with you near

I just want to die with you hear

I'm wet and I'm cold

But thank God I ain't old

Why didn't I say what I mean?

Oh 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
