lyrics

Let’s go down to the sea
It’s been so long since you left me
That I have cried all the tears from my eyes
So let’s go down to the sea.

Battered old promenade, going nowhere fast now –
And the cracked chapped peeling paintwork on shop windows
You only remember from holidays
Bathed in rain and heartache
And card games in the evening.

And buckets and spades cost four pounds fifty nowadays –
Do you remember when they used to be a pound?
Well no one remembers that really
But no one wants to forget.
Get yer glad rags on for the evening.

And there’s a man on the pier, sing you any song
From the last twenty years –
As long as it’s the Fairytale of New York.
And nothing grows here now but
Tracksuits and remorse.
Plant a rose for England’s dying shore.

Lazy days lost to slot machine dreaming
Stained chinos rolled up with meaning.

And you were a postcard someone left on the sand
Red wine and soda hand in hand.
And you were the deckchair colonnade
Left out to rot in the wind and the storm and the waves.

And Arcadia calls and the seagulls howl
And the scum, and the scum collects in your shoes
And the mermaids, they are singing now –
Do they sing to you?
Do they sing?
Do they sing to you too?


Let’s go down to the sea
It’s been so long since you left me
That I have cried all the tears from my eyes
And no one comes here anymore,
No one comes here anymore.

So let’s go down
Will you follow me down
To the sea?
