The town clock has stopped
We can sit and have a lemon-top
Or those sweets and rock that eat into your teeth
Or candy floss
Down the granite lined sea front
To the racecourse car-boot hunt
And the micro-pubs selling wine and beer
Does anyone else but us come here?
We have a pier and it spears into the sky
Why oh why? Is our pier so high?
Come and meet with me by the clock
In the town that everybody forgot
Sit with me we’ll drink ’till we drop
Look at our virtual shops
The windmills in the sea
And the corpse of British Steel
A boating lake flanked by penguins
And that ice North Sea feel
The seagulls screech around
And everything costs a pound
The last resort by the chemical towers
It isn’t much but at least it’s ours
We have a pier and it spears into the sky
Why oh why? Is our pier so high?
Come and meet with me by the clock
In the town that everybody forgot
Sit with me we’ll drink ’till we drop
Look at our virtual shops
From Huntcliff to the gare we have to wrap it up
A world turned upside down and we just lap it up
Abandoned by the world we just get on with it
We deserve better
We have a pier and it spears into the sky
Why oh why? Is our pier so high?
Come and meet with me by the clock
In the town that everybody forgot
Sit with me we’ll drink ’till we drop
Look at our virtual shops
