I've just turned 55 and it's time for a new beat!
I look at me,
Peering at trapped sea,
The little life below
Doesn't want to show,
Doesn't want to know,
So, so I walk to the pier
Where people disappear
In their fancy gear,
To be seen in the audience
Of worship and diligence,
In the matinee of glee
Between 2 o'clock and three,
Stalwarts all of variety,
But I'm on the outside
Looking at the ebb tide
And what I can't abide,
The incoming sea
Mocking me, shocking me,
Switching off my rock pool TV.

Beach Rap
Rock pool TV,I look at me,
Peering at trapped sea,
The little life below
Doesn't want to show,
Doesn't want to know,
So, so I walk to the pier
Where people disappear
In their fancy gear,
To be seen in the audience
Of worship and diligence,
In the matinee of glee
Between 2 o'clock and three,
Stalwarts all of variety,
But I'm on the outside
Looking at the ebb tide
And what I can't abide,
The incoming sea
Mocking me, shocking me,
Switching off my rock pool TV.
