Bell Boy (Live) Lyrics

Keith's theme

The beach is a place where a man can feel

He's the only soul in the world that's real

Well I see a face coming through the haze

I remember him from those 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

I've got a good job

And I'm newly born

You should see me dressed up in my uniform

I work in hotel

All gilt and flash

Remember the place where the doors were smashed

Bell Boy

I got to keep running now

Bell Boy

Keep my lip buttoned down

Bell Boy

Carry this baggage out

Bell Boy

Always running at someone's 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

Then I wander in early to work

Spend the day licking boots for my perks

A beach is a place where a man can feel etc

People often change

But when I look in your eyes

You could learn a lot from

A job like mine

The secret to me

Isn't flown like a flag

I carry it behind

This little badge

What says

 

Bell Boy
