Camber Sands Lyrics by Bernard Butler

Good Grief

2024

It's time we took the air
I'll walk you to the door
They put it in my head that you and me and no more
That we've got nothing left here and there's nothing to decide
They've already had way too much of my
Time
I'm not going to fan the flames
Or bore you to tears about the good old days
No yippee aye ayes
Just pack your bags
I'm taking you to Camber Sands
We'll get away from this town where the pavement’s stand
It’s the backstreet of your heart that's clogging up your veins
When the rain falls down
Oh the rain falls hard
Thе long tale of my talk comes from a well so dark
That lonеly hearts fail and lonely lovers meet
By slogans on walls and the sewer crawls into the streets
With the love, with the joy and the ecstasy oh the profoundness of your dreams
That time we took the air outside the county lines
We took off our clothes and swam back in time
We floated all the way back to ‘83
To forget all the pain
Did you ever feel so carefree?
Oh bare are the shoulders that'll carry me when I'm older
Across the quicksand of the Doggerland
Put on your clothes
We're heading back to Camber Sands
Where I shivered I panicked for the present day
And the silver that glistened every holiday
The sand mirored the water and the water the sand
The sea walls in the distance and Camber Sands
Where lonely hearts fail and lonely lovers meet
To write slogans on wall and the sewer crawls into the sea
“With the love with the joy and the ecstasy”
Oh the profoundness of your dreams
Hey that’s some holiday it turned out to be
You dredged up the mud along Monkey Beach
You disappeared in the pastels for miles and miles
Till the tide caught up with you and the Mersea Isle
Where my Fortress awaits
To see and breathe
The road will explain
The lonely music of the resolute
The half light of the saddest tunes
So I turned my face towards the city
My heart filled with stories like relics of the past
Did I drown, did I choke?
Did I waltz into the dark side of yesterday?
The dark side of yesterday
The dark side of yesterday
It's time we took the air
I’ll open up the door
Don't put it in my head that you and me are no more
I’ve packed up your bags
Just give me your hand
I'm taking you to Camber sands
