lyrics

i was only gonna stay here for the summer
then i thought i'd get away
thought i could stay with my brother
but my brother thought a different way
so i got a job in the arcades
where the children play and the grown men fight
and i tried to find an honest smile
in a seaside town at night

they come here with their twopenny pieces
and they swim in the greybellied sea
they all write postcards to their nieces
and they save all their lies for me
i walk around the bay awhile
when the wind is low and the moon is high
it's so hard to find an honest smile
in a seaside town at night

my heart is always out of season
i'll never be what i want to be
he told me lies and i believed them
what must my mother think of me
i'll catch a train to the city
just put me on any old flight
it's so hard to find an honest smile
in a seaside town at night
