The Who - Sea And Sand lyrics

Here by the sea and sand Here by the sea and sand Nothing ever goes as planned, Nothing ever goes as planned, I just couldn't face going home I just couldn't face going home It was just a drag on my own. It was just a drag on my own. They finally threw me out They finally threw me out My mother got drunk on stout, My mother got drunk on stout, My dad couldn't stand on two feet, My dad couldn't stand on two feet, As he lectured about morality. As he lectured about morality. Now I guess the families complete, Now i guess the families complete, With me hanging round on the street With me hanging round on the street Or here on the beach. Or here on the beach. The girl I love The girl i love Is a perfect dresser, Is a perfect dresser, Wears every fashion Wears every fashion Gets it to the tee. Gets it to the tee. Heavens above, Heavens above, I got to match her I got to match her She knows just how She knows just how She wants her man to be She wants her man to be Leave it to me. Leave it to me. My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked Maybe a touch of seers**er with an open neck Maybe a touch of seers**er with an open neck I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat I ride a g.s. scooter with my hair cut neat I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet. I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet. I see her dancing I see her dancing Across the ballroom Across the ballroom UV light making starshine Uv light making starshine Of her smile. Of her smile. I am the face, I am the face, She has to know me, She has to know me, I'm dressed up better than anyone I'm dressed up better than anyone Within a mile. Within a mile. So how come the other tickets look much better? So how come the other tickets look much better? Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter. Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter. How come the girls come on oh so cool How come the girls come on oh so cool Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool? Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool? Come sleep on the beach Come sleep on the beach Keep within my reach Keep within my reach I just want to die with you near I just want to die with you near I'm feeling so high with you here. I'm feeling so high with you here. I'm wet and I'm cold I'm wet and i'm cold But thank God I ain't old But thank god i ain't old I should have split home at fifteen I should have split home at fifteen Why didn't I ever say what I mean? Why didn't i ever say what i mean? There's a story that the gra** is so green, There's a story that the gra** is so green, What did I see? What did i see? Where have I been? Where have i been? Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand
