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 him 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

[spoken]

I've got a good job and I'm newly born

You should see me dressed up in my uniform

I work in an hotel, all gilt and flash

Remember the gap where the doors we 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 bleedin'

| | | | |

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 my day lickin' boots for my perks

[repeat verse]

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 him from those crazy days, 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 can 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:

Bell Boy, I gotta get running now

Bell Boy, Keep your 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
