Pete Townshend, Alfie Boe, Billy Idol, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Sea and Sand (2015) testo (lyrics)

Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own

They finally threw me out
My mom got drunk on stout
My dad couldn't stand on two feet
As he lectured about morality

Now I guess the family's complete
With me hanging 'round on the street
Or here on the beach the girl I love
Is a perfect dresser wears every fashion
Gets it to the tee

Heavens above i've got to match her
Shе knows just how she wants her man to be
Lеave it to me

My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet

I see her dance across the ballroom
UV lights making stars shine of her smile

I am the face she has to know me
I'm dressed up better than anyone
Within a mile oh, yeah
So how come the other
Tickets look much better?
Without a penny to spend they
Dress to the letter
How come the girls come on oh so cool
Yet when you meet 'em, every one's a fool?

Come sleep on the beach keep within my reach
I just want to die with you near
I'm feeling so high with you here

I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
Why didn't I say what I mean?
I should have split home at fifteen

There's a story that the grass is so green
What did I see? Where have I been?

Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand

I'm the face if you want it, baby
I'm the face if you want it
I'm the face if you want it, baby
I'm the face if you want it
I'm the face if you want it
I'm the face if you want it, baby
If you want it, if you want
It, if you want it, if you want it
If you want it, if you want it, it
You want it, if you want it, ah the face
