Sea and Sand (Live)

Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own
They finally threw me out
My mama got drunk on stout
My dad couldn't stand on two feet
As he lectured about morality
So now I guess the family's complete
With me hanging round on the street
Or here on the beach
The girl I love is a perfect dresser
Wears every fashion, gets it to a T
Heavens above, I have to match her
She knows just how she wants her man to be
Leave it to me
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
With just a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my war time coat in the wind and sleet
I see her dancing across the ballroom
UV lights making starshine off her smile
I am the face, she has to know it
I'm dressed up better than anyone in a mile
So how come the other kids look so much better
Without even a penny they dress to the letter
How come the girls come on oh so cool
But when you meet them everyone's a fool
Come sleep on the beach
Keep within my reach
I just want to die with you here
I'm feeling so high with you near
I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
I should have split home at fifteen
Why didn't I ever say what I mean
There's a story that the grass is so green
What did I see? Where have I been?
Nothing is planned by the sea and the sand
