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 it 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 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 a hotel, all gilt and flash Remember the gap when the doors we smashed?
[Chorus 1:] Bell Boy! I got to 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 the 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 it 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 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 up a flag I carry it behind this bleeding little badge What says...
[Chorus 2:] Bell Boy! I got to 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.
