Bell Boy lyrics
by Who



The beach is a placewhere a man can feel,he's the only soulin the world that's real.But I see a facecoming through the haze.I remember himfrom those crazy days.Crazy days.Crazy days.Ain't you the guy who used to set the pacesRiding up in front of 100 faces?I don't suppose you would remember meBut I used to follow you back in '63.I've got a good job,and I'm newly born.You should see me dressed upin my uniform.I work in a hotel,all gilt and flash.Remember the placewhere the doors were smashed?Bell boy!I've got to get running now.Bell boy!Keep my lip button 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.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.The beach is a placewhere a man can feel,he's the only soulin the world that's real.But I see a facecoming through the haze.I remember himfrom those crazy days.Crazy days.Crazy days.Ain't you the guy who used to set the pacesRiding up in front of 100 faces?I don't suppose you would remember meBut I used to follow you back in '63.People often change,but when I look in your eyes.You could learn a lotfrom a life like mine.The secret to me,it ain't flown on a flag.I hide it behind thisbleedin' little badge. (what says)Bell boy!I've got to get running now.Bell boy!Keep my lip button down.Bell boy!Carry this baggage out!Bell boy!Always running at someone's bleedin' heel.You know how I feel.Always running at someone's heel.
