A short weekend in Brighton She showed us up the stair To a quaint old room that had a rundown view A cat-coat on the chair A statue there of David And three ducks on the wall And for my life, with another man's wife I didn't have a care at all For my life, with another man's wife I didn't have a care at all There was laughter on the pavement There was music on the pier "Quick On The Draw", "What The Butler Saw" Ice cold drinks of beer The music sounded sweet I wiped the sand from your feet And we kissed and smiled as we strolled a mile Unafraid of who we'd meet We kissed and smiled as we strolled a mile Unafraid of who we'd meet We bought a book to read in bed And I laughed, what a waste of time You held me near and I kissed your ear (you said, babe) First I need some wine You turned away politely "I'd love to try seeing you soon" But you'd things to do for school next week We'd leave tomorrow afternoon Things to do for school next week We'd leave tomorrow afternoon We laughed in the bedroom And we joked in the bar Had tea in bed, shared a bath Made love and had a shower We stole the softest pillow I watched you dream alone Were you thinking about the day we had Or was your mind back home? Were you thinking about the day we had Or was your mind back home?
