Bell Boy

A beach is a place where a man can feel
 He's the only soul in the world that's real
 But I see a face coming through the haze
 I remember him from those crazy days
 Crazy days, crazy days
 Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
 Riding up in front of a thousand 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 gaff, where the doors we smashed?
 (Bell boy!) I gotta get running now
 (Bell boy!) Keep my lip buttoned down
 (Bell boy!) Carry this baggage out
 (Bell boy!) Always running
 At someone's bleeding 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
 I wander in early to work
 Spend my day licking boots for my perks
 A beach is a place where a man can feel
 He's the only soul in the world that's real
 But I see a face coming through the haze
 I remember him from those crazy days
 (Crazy days, crazy days)
 (Crazy days, 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
 People often change, but when I look in your eyes
 You could learn a lot from a life like mine
 The secret to me, it ain't flown like a flag
 I carry it behind this bleeding little badge, what says
 (Bell boy!) I've got a get running now
 (Bell boy!) Keep the lip buttoned down
 (Bell boy!) Carry the bloody baggage out
 (Bell Boy!) Always running at someone's heel
 You know how I feel
 Always running at someone's heel
