At The Seaside
Dreamy Day by the Seaside
Lyrics
Walked up past the old arcades
Walking past the old arcades
To where the older boats lie dead
Heading to where older boats are no longer in use
Got up to the broken bandstand
Reaching a broken bandstand
But this all happened in my head
Realizing all these events occurred in the mind, not reality
I had dozed off, I hadn't moved at all
Dozing off without any movement
I'd slept with back up to the wall
Sleeping with back against the wall
And now I've had that nice dream
Having a pleasant dream
I think that I might like some ice-cream
Expressing a desire for ice cream after waking up
Walked in my bare feet along the sand
Walking barefoot along the sandy beach
To where the water met the land
Reaching the meeting point of water and land
When the water hit my knees
Feeling the water reach knee level
I thought that I was going to freeze
Fearing the possibility of freezing in the water
Some kids dad gave me some hassle
Encountering trouble from a kid's dad
I tripped over his kids sand castle
Accidentally tripping over a sandcastle
Kid sat there in tears - mouth open wide
Observing a crying kid with a wide-open mouth
I was bright red, I nearly died
Feeling embarrassment and almost dying of shame
Later on in the old arcade
Later, inside the old arcade
Twenty pence, Euro '96
Recalling a moment related to Euro '96 and a twenty-pence coin
Knocked out in the semis by the French
Reflecting on England being eliminated in the semis by the French
A well struck peno by Asterix
Mentioning a well-struck penalty by Asterix during Euro '96
