Like a postcard from another time
Pulled-down piers and ghosts of worn-down picket lines
Flags fly faded on the high street
Yes, we're drowning and invaded
But there's no such thing as glorious defeat
Sea-sunk dreams
This town still makes me plead
Oh, Paignton please
Always desperate, always out of time
Always taken to that summer you were almost mine
Underneath the boardwalk you kissed me
Left those love bites on my stomach
But there's no way to get back into the sea
Paignton beach
This bay still makes me weep
Oh, seasick dreams
Seasick dreams
Seasick dreams
