The Who - Bell Boy lyrics
[The Who - Bell Boy lyrics]
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 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 gaff
Where the doors we smashed?
(Bell boy) I gotta get runnin' now
(Bell boy) Keep my lip buttoned down
(Bell boy) Carry this baggage out
(Bell boy) Always runnin'
At someone's bleedin' 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 bleedin'
Little badge what says
(Bell boy) I gotta get runnin' 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
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 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 gaff
Where the doors we smashed?
(Bell boy) I gotta get runnin' now
(Bell boy) Keep my lip buttoned down
(Bell boy) Carry this baggage out
(Bell boy) Always runnin'
At someone's bleedin' 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 bleedin'
Little badge what says
(Bell boy) I gotta get runnin' 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
