Bell Boy Lyrics

Bell Boy

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 sixty
three.





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 little badge

What says...





Bell Boy!
