It's time we took the air
I'll walk you to the door
They put in in my head that you and me are 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
And I'm not gonna fan the flame
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 stained
It's the backstreet of your heart
That's clogging up your veins
When the rain falls down the rain falls hard
The long tale of my talk comes from a well so dark
That lonely hearts fail and lonely lovers meet
By slogans on walls
And the sewer crawls into the street
With the love,with the joy and the ecstasy
And the profoundness of your dreams
That time we took air outside the county line
We took off our clothes and swam back in time
We floated all the way back to '83
To forget all this pain
Did you ever feel so carefree?
Oh bare are the shoulders that'll carry me when I'm older
Across the quicksand of 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 mirrored the water and the water the sand
The sea wall in the distance and Camber Sands
Where lonely hearts fail and lonely lovers meet
By slogans on the 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 you 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 awaitsΒ 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 get in your way?
Did I waltz into the dark side of yesterday?
The dark side of yesterday
It's time we took the air
I'll open the door
Don't put it in my head that you and me are no more
I've packed up your bag
Just give me your hand
I'm taking you to Camber Sands
