17 November 2001 (In memory of Kirsty)
He s on the Beach by Kirsty MacColl
He was just a friend of mine I d run into from time to time
And long before he moved away we used to share a taste for wine
Still I never knew that he was sad that s when
He said the time had come for him to take a holiday.
CHORUS:
And he says its brilliant there
There s something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He s on the beach
I know he s changed somehow
He writes us postcards now
I m not sure where he is
He s out of reach
When he called me up one day and said that he was going away
I thought he meant a week in france and not ten thousand miles to Sydney bay
Still he had to take his chances
He said the time had come for him to make a move away
CHORUS:
And he says its brilliant there
There s something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He s on the beach
I know he s changed somehow
He writes us postcards now
I m not sure where he is
He s on the beach
And I dont blame him
Leaving was the best thing he could do
With all the changes
I just hope he s happy when he does the things he thinks he has to do
And he tries. And he tries. And he tries so hard but all by himself
Somehow he s trying to be someone else
And he says, he says, he says its brilliant there
There s something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He s on the beach
I know he s changed somehow
He s in Australia
And he s on the beach
And he says its brilliant there
