Lyrics of Brighton

Brighton

Wouldn't it be fun to end it all, up in brighton?

never take the train back home

Never wait for you for hours at the station

slowly guessing you would finally not come


Wasn't it much nicer when we took boats

we had time to think, then, sliding on the water

it's hard to realise the sea is shallow there


We would sail our hearts up until they broke against the shore


wouldn't it be fun to end it all, up in brighton?

Here exactly where i don't belong

i can feel the privilege of being a stranger

ignoring all the dramas that shaped this town


end a life in the marina, start over on saint-james

and talk all night of battered things and rock widows

gazing at the forming clouds, it suddenly gets dark

a mighty cathedral above the amusement park
