Bell Boy (1996 Remastered Version)

Bell Boy (1996 Remastered Version) - The Who

The 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 sixty-three

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 place where the doors we smashed

Bell boy

I've gotta 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 licking boots for my perks

The 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

Riding up in front of a hundred faces

I don't suppose you would remember me

But I used to follow you back in sixty-three

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 like a flag

I carry it behind this pretty little badge what says

Bell boy

I gotta 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
