Deaf Havana - Hunstanton Pier Lyrics
It was 2004, if I'm not mistaken, when the poison hit my lips,And I haven't looked back since.I had friends back then and a pier made to match,We were young and out of touch with the things we'd grow to hate so much, in time.Back when my hair was long and Phil was still aliveWe spent our days trying to speak, to the girls that left us weakBut now I'm ageing badly and my friends' been laid to restAnd the ones who let us in are pushing prams or raising twins.To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the cityI need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me.In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've knownAnd the places I called homeBut in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behindReminders of the changing times and these ageing bones of mine.Lee and me were schooled in a tourist townWith less culture than Jeremy KyleBut it stole our hearts for a whileAnd most weekends I found nothing but regretBetween many a drunk girls' legsAnd in many a strangers' bed.To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the cityI need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me who I am.In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've knownAnd the places I called homeBut in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behindReminders of the changing times and these ageing bones of mine.The one's who haven't died or started familiesAre all just working on building sites or battling with university feesAnd a girl I used to know made me a promise onceI wonder if she kept it, or if she even remembers it...In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've knownAnd the places I called homeBut in my mind they're all just things I left behindReminders of a changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.These ageing bones of mine.
