The Beach Lyrics

Mary Coughlan The Beach

He was walkin' on the beach,
When I went down for a swim.
I hadn't got my towels with me.
I wanted to strip-off and go in.
I knew he knew what I wanted to do,
But still he wouldn't go.
But he stood and watched - t'was a show.

I was sittin' at the bar,
Having had a lot to drink.
And I was talking to this guy.
He'd only just come in, I think.
My head was spinnin' around,
And when I tried to go,
Well, he stood and watched - t'was a show.

I was walking him back home,
And I asked him to come in.
Well, I thought that I should take the chance,
Although his legs were a little bit thin.
I tried to get through to him,
Using every trick I know.
But he stood and watched - t'was a show.
He stood and watched - t'was a show.

(refrain)
