Lyrics The Beach - Mary Coughlan

The Beach

He was walkin' on the beach
When I went down for a swim
I hadn’t got my towels with me
I wanted to strip-off and go in
I knew he knew what I wanted to do
But still he wouldn’t go
He stood and watched
T’was a show
I was sittin' at the bar
Having had a lot to drink
And I was talking to this guy
He’d only just come in, I think
My head was spinnin' around
And when I tried to go
Well, he stood and watched
T’was a show
I was walking him back home
And I asked him to come in
I thought that I would take the chance
Although he was a little bit thin
I tried to get through to him
Using every trick I know
But he stood and watched
T’was a show
He stood and watched the show
He stood and watched the show
He stood and watched the show
He stood and watched the show
He stood and watched the show
