Bell Boy

The 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

Hazy days, crazy days

Aren'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 hotel all gilt and flash

Remember the gaff where the doors were 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 bleeding heel

You know how I feel

Always running at someone's heelSome nights I still sleep on the beach

Remember when stars were in reach

Then I wander in early to work

Spend my day licking boots for my perks

The 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

Aren'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 bleeding little badge

What saysBell Boy!

I got to get running now

Bell Boy!

Keep my lip buttoned down

Bell Boy!

Carry the bloody baggage out

Bell Boy!

Always running at someone's heel

You know how I feel

Always running at someone's heel
