From:
A 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 it from those crazy days
Crazy days, 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 a hotel, all gilt and flash
Remember the gap when the doors we smashed?
[Chorus 1:]
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 heel.
Some nights I still sleep on the beach
Remember when stars were in reach
I wander in early to work
Spend the day licking boots for my perks.
A 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 it from those crazy days
Crazy days, 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.
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 up a flag
I carry it behind this bleeding little badge
What says...
[Chorus 2:]
Bell Boy! I got to get running now
Bell Boy! Keep the 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.
