I live in a humble seaside town.
There's nothing much to do here,
Unless you want to drown.
The sea air is refreshing,
You know everyone around,
Mutual friends and distant relatives are always here to be found.
City people come down to enjoy the beach.
Scoffing on ice cream,
And hearing the seagulls screech.
Jumping into the sea on a hot summer's day,
Getting sunburnt on their backs,
From the suncream they forgot again.
I live in a small seaside town,
There's nothing much to do here,
Except a few arcades around.
The sea air is refreshing,
Especially in the rain,
When you can walk and think for yourself without people driving you insane.
City people come down to enjoy the beach,
Talking obnoxiously loud,
Throwing chips at seagulls for a bit of peace.
Jumping into the sea on a hot summer's day,
As the local people mope around,
Wishing they'd go away.
