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 could've 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 see
ing 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
(You're such a...)
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
(Where the lights) I knew it was a question,
but I
(Sad, sad song) Didn't know
the answer so I
(A dirty old song) Just looked
away away and I
(Carry on) Kind of looked the
other way and that's
(Where the lights) Over to the sea
and that's
(Sad, sad song) Far from
you and me
(Sad, sad song) Where the lights
I said we carry on
