wesley stace - hastings pier lyrics

[verse 1]
in hastings, when i was younger
i called bingo numbers
the pier was the place to be
if foreign students you would meet
and we walked underneath
upon the stony beach
just near bottle alley
where the land turns into sea
by hastings pier
[verse 2]
in hastings, when i was younger
amus+m+nts in the summer
on holiday from boarding school
busking the memorial
there i plied my trade
to general disdain
a handful of loose change
to put in the machinеs
on hastings pier

[verse 3]
in hastings, when i was younger
thе sea could take you under
i never much swam in there
but i skimmed some stones and i breathed the air
the who, the rolling stones, pink floyd
syd barrett’s final show
didn’t take that long to get
to want to know the ghosts
of hastings pier

[verse 4]
in october 2010
someone torched the pier and
i watched it burn like hallowe’en
melting my computer screen
and when the smoke cleared
it had almost disappeared
beaten by the wind and rain
for one hundred years
hastings pier
[outro]
take me down
