Bell Boy

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 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!
