"South Bay"

Twinkle toes and brass bands
Displayed in halls of white roses
Strike the drum stand up for the white rose
Don’t hide from the Valley Bridge ghouls
Re-writing fiction stops the blues
Light up in accordance with what’s crude

I’ll go walking on South Bay where the tourists stray
And the Seagulls sway in the Sun’s setting haze

Drinking aids the smoking
Habitual amazement in the traffic
Parading on a promenade of ignipotence
With confessions of fake ambition
Rewriting fiction stops the blues
Light up in accordance with what’s crude

I’ll go walking on South Bay where the tourists stray
And the seagulls sway in the Sun’s setting haze

Go walking on South Bay where the tourists stray
And the Seagulls sway in the Sun’s setting haze
