Sea And Sand

Sea and Sand - Pete Townshend

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 mom got drunk on stout

My dad couldn't stand on two feet

As he lectured about morality

Well now I guess the families 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 the tee

Heavens above

Ooo I got to match her

I know where she wants her man to be

Leave it to me

Oh

My jacket's gonna be

Cut slim and checked

Maybe a touch seersucker

With an open neck

I ride a G S scooter with

My hair cut neat

In my wartime coat in

The wind and sleet

I see her dance

Across the ballroom

UV light making star shine on her smile

I am the face

Mmm she has to know me

I'm dressed up better than anyone within a mile

Ohh Ah

So how come the other cats look much better

Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter

How come the girls all come on oh so cool

Yet when you meet 'em every one's a fool

Come sleep on the beach

Keep within my reach

I'm feeling high with you near

I just want to die with you hear

I'm wet and I'm cold

But thank God I ain't old

Why didn't I say what I mean

Oh I should have split home at fifteen

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

I have the keys if you want it

I have the keys if you want it

I have the keys if you want it

I have the keys if you want it babe

I have the keys

You want it you want it you want it

I'm dressed

I raise the dressing

I raise the dressing

I'm dressed

I'm afraid it babe
