about

"Beneath the paving stones, the beach" - Situationist slogan

lyrics

Town has changed since you've been away
buildings drowned in clay
I can't recognise the place
shadows on your face
Behind the splintered stage
of the Palace Theatre
the cold limelight plays

Fast asleep beneath the street
Beneath centuries of sleet
Beneath a billion heavy feet
Fast asleep beneath the street

Someone came up from the sea
by the cheap hotels
asked me for a light
in a language I couldn't speak
You know a pier is just a bridge
That goes nowhere
Always out of reach

Click track ghost, the dead railway
na na na na na na na na na

So, town has changed since you've been away
Landmarks drowned in clay
Cluttering up the place
Taking up my space
You know, a pier is just a bridge
That goes nowhere
Always out of reach

Fast asleep beneath the street
Beneath centuries of sleet
The eternal slag heap
Fast asleep beneath the street
