He's on the Beach by Kirsty MacColl
CG He was just a friend of mine I'd run into from time to time AmFC And long before he moved away we used to share a taste for wine GF Still I never knew that he was sad that's when CFGFCG He said the time had come for him to take a holiday.
CHORUS: C And he says its brilliant there F There's something in the air C And sunshine everywhere G He's on the beach C I know he's changed somehow F He writes us postcards now C I'm not sure where he is G 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 ten thousand miles to 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 He writes us postcards now I'm not sure where he is He's on the beach
And I dont blame him Leaving was the best thing he could do With all the changes I just hope he's happy when he does the things he thinks he has to do And he tries. And he tries. And he tries so hard but all by himself Somehow he's trying to be someone else
And he says, he says, 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 He's in Australia And he's on the beach And he says its brilliant there
