Pete Townshend - Sea & Sand lyrics

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. My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked Maybe a touch seers**er 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 gra** is so green What did I see? Where have I been? Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand. [Ad Lib]
