Bell Boy lyrics
Song information
Artist: The Who Album: Quadrophenia
Lyrics
(Keith's theme) the beach is a place where a man can feel He's the only soul in the world that's real Well I see a face coming through the haze I remember him from those crazy days
Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces Riding up in front of a hundred faces I don't suppose you would remember me But I used to follow you back in '63
I've got a good job And I'm newly born You should see me dressed up in my uniform I work in hotel, all gilt and flash Remember the place where the doors were smashed?
Bell boy! I got to keep running now Bell boy! keep my lip buttoned down Bell boy! carry this baggage out Bell boy! always running at someone's heel You know how I feel, always running at someone's heel
Some nights I still sleep on the beach Remember when stars were in reach Then I wander in early to work Spend the day licking boots for my perks
A beach is a place where a man can feel etc
People often change But when I look in your eyes You could learn a lot from A job like mine The secret to me Isn't flown like a flag I carry it behind This bleedin little badge What says..
Bell boy!
