a seaside dream for two
see blackpool through the gloom
through broomhill with me
by the sea
you took me up the hill
to show me where you've been
you promised me this
by the sea
we made it up to here
another house, another hill
there's no other life
by the sea
there's nothing but dreams
by the sea
there's no other life
by the sea
so let's just drift off
out to sea

you had a blades tattoo
i never trusted you
you had a house in crookes
you'd never seen a book
you spent your time
committing crimes
she lived in hillsborough
you never wanted her
one day you nicked her stuff
and started acting tough
you take what's mine
i'll take what's yours
i'll go to b & q
i'll get some lighter fluid
i'll let us just
self-immolate
that's what you get
for being daft
you thought it all
was just a laugh

it's 3 am
i'm walking fast
little do i know
this morning'll be my last
i gather pace
i've seen it all before
and i won't look back
until i reach my door
i'm walking home
i'm walking home

My endless pride and joy
The cider took my boy
Soon it takes me too
To Endcliffe Park I go
The trampoline
Is all that I have left
He's sleeping rough again
He's in the wind
And I just walk on past
Endcliffe Park again
Past where he lives
Soon I live there too

You left me saddened and adrift in the hotel
I felt so lonely I could barely hear the bells
The queen on the radio had no cure for my plight
Why would she care about my loss one Christmas night?
Why would another person cause so much alarm?
I guess I know now what it's like to lose an arm

you're holding hands
he's in your arms
i see your smile
as i fall down
on glossop road
i met my fate
you carry on holding hands
a tram on west street
cuts short my dream
my closing eyes
the waning light
i say goodbye
my wary past
i never dreamt you would be
in other arms
my dream was all i had and
now it's gone
the sun still shines on you and your friend
a twisted mess is all that remains
the sun still shines on you and your friend
a city wrought in tramlines and pain
the sun still shines on you and your friend
a lifeless body covered in rain
the sun still shines on you and your friend

never ask for me
