Ode To A Would Be Lover
Take it from me
That you're gonna be in love
Just give yourself some time
You're just in a shaky frame of mind
Take it from me
That everyone's not that way
Just out to break your heart
So baby don't fall apart
I know that it hurts sometimes
But girl if you let me ride
I'll make you feel the way you want
I'll make you feel like you're in love
Don't want you to compromise
We can just take our time
Whatever makes you feel you're loved
That's all I want
Take it from me
You're gonna love someone
I can see it in yo
Blue Red and Grey
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!
