(Keith´s theme) The beach is a place where a man can feel
He´s the only soul in the world that´s real,
Well I see a face coming through the haze,
I remember him from those 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 hotel, all gilt and flash.
Remember the place where the doors were smashed?
Bell Boy! I got to keep running now.
Bell Boy! Keep my lip buttoned down.
Bell Boy! Carry this baggage out.
Bell Boy! Always running at someone´s 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.
Then I wander in early to work,
Spend the day licking boots for my perks.
A beach is a place where a man can feel etc.
People often change
But when I look in your eyes,
You could learn a lot from
A job like mine.
The secret to me
Isn´t flown like a flag
I carry it behind
This bleedin little badge
