Honey Cakes On Brighton Beach With You

from One Of A Million Butterflies by Retro Temple

/

about

This track is written in the style of The Beatles' "When I'm Sixty Four".

Deliberately flippant and silly, it came about after a Brighton-beach picnic with my family. I made the honey-cakes.

lyrics

Honey Cakes on Brighton Beach with You
================================
We walk on the sunny side
All the places you know
The people like to come and go
Your friends will stop and say hello

Blue skies chase the clouds away
Sunlight on my face
Sometimes the fates are kind
And I’m glad of the human race

Skaters skating,
Surfers waiting,
Watching for the tide
We take to our paddle boards
Caution aside, we head out for a ride

There’s no better
Big red letter
Thing I’d rather do
Than honey cakes on
Brighton beach
With you

Laughter in the rolling waves
There’s salt on the air,
Play the shingle with your toes,
While the wind messes up your hair

All the lights on the rusty pier
All the rides made us smile
The sparring starling’s murmuration
We can watch a little while

Ice-cream stealing,
Seagulls wheeling,
Giving us the eye
We keep our tucker out of reach
Caution aside, we picnic by and by

There’s no better
Big red letter
Thing I’d rather do
Than honey cakes on
Brighton beach
With you

Honey cakes on Brighton Beach
With you

Honey cakes on Brighton Beach
With you
