There’s nothing around here to bel… And I’m always feeling scared There’s not much for me to breath… Except all this stale air What can I find here to care for?
Dreams of the future come to me, Into quiet places there they take… Is this real, can it be? Or do my dreams forsake me? Wonderful places full of grace.
Brighton, Brighton, oh! Brighton That place of memories Of past and better times When life was good, When we shared our wine
Some days go by in quiet grace When convention states another pla… Should be encountered in your eye This time left to you has passed b… Convention states the play of days

Telephone sounds in the dark of ni… Raised from sleep our minds confus… The telephone sounds to wake us, The shock that comes forsakes us, And we are left in fright.
Here we are again on that old road Just standing around there with ou… With no particular place to go And between us all we’ve got no do… We have no direction in our heads
