Bell Boy

Bell Boy Lyrics

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
Rising up infront of a hundred faces
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in '63

I 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 a flash
Remember the gaff where the doors we smashed

Bellboy, I gotta get running now
Bellboy, keep my lip buttoned down
Bellboy, carry this baggage out
Bellboy, always running at someones bleedin' heel
You know how I feel
Always running at someones heel

Some nights I still sleep on the beach
Remember when stars were in reach
I wander in early to work
Spend my 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 him from those crazy days
Crazy days, crazy days, crazy days, crazy days

Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
Rising up infront of a hundred faces
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in '63

People often say that when you look in my eyes
You can tell alot from a life like mine
The secret to me isn't flown like a flag
I carry it behind this bleedin' little badge what says

Bellboy, gotta get running now
Bellboy, keep my lip buttoned now
Bellboy, carry the bloody baggage out
Bellboy, always running at someones heel
You know how I feel
Always running at someones heel
