brighton pier

there's a patch of longing at the edge of town

don't run so fast 'cause my heels get caught

an american tourist he says he wanted some rock

i coulda just flipped the sign

charged him anything

taken everything he's got

i saw a little sign up in the sky

reminded me of something in your eye

that's brighton pier

darling

where the lights

they sing a sad

sad song

they sing a dirty old song

but we carry on

across the wooden boards and then far out to sea

i never even realized you were seeing the same thing as me

i'm cutting up on swinton street with my head held high

i kiss her on the lips and sometimes it's hard to say goodbye

where the lights

they sing a sad

sad song

sing a dirty old song

but we carry on

where the lights

they sing a sad

sad song

sing a dirty old song

but we carry on

they sing a sad

sad song

they sing a dirty old song

but we carry on

where the lights

they sing a sad

sad song

they sing a dirty old song

but we carry on

i knew it was a question

but i

didn't know the answer so i

just looked away away and i

kind of looked the other way and that's

over to the sea and that's

far from you and me

where the lights

i said we carry on
