"He s On The Beach"
As recorded by: The Lemonheads (B-side to "Big Gay Heart")
Chords by: Aaron Williams
He was just a friend of mine, I d run into from time to time
Long before he moved away, we use to share a drink of wine.
Still I never knew that he was sad that way
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, it s in his postcards now
I m not sure where he is, but 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 12,000 miles in 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, it s in his postcards now
He s on his own again, and he s out of reach.
{Bridge}:
And I don t blame him. Leaving was the best thing he could do.
He longed for changes, I just hope he s happy,
when he does the things he thinks he has to do.
And he tries, and tries, and tries, but he s lived at home (?)
I think he s trying to be someone else, and he says, he says, he says,
it s really unfair...there s something in the air,
and sunshine everywhere. He s on the beach.
I know he s changed somehow, it s in his postcards now
