lyrics

Life was so fine living by the coastline
Now it’s so hard working down the salt mines
We tried so hard to stick together through the bad times
Now we’re all alone living through hard lines

Sometimes I think we had a little too much time
We’d spend our days walking the golden line
Long as the sun would shine
Long as we were blind
As long as we were living in the sun, I don’t mind

Life was so fine living in the sunshine
Now it’s so long working at the hard grind
We tried so hard to make a living from our own kind
Now we’re on our own living through hard times

Sometimes I think we didn’t know how far we’d climbed
We’d spend our days planning the perfect crime
Living on stolen time
Living on what we’d find
As long as we were living on the edge, I don’t mind

We’ve wasted all these years
On the golden strand
They’d never end
Until the end of time

Life was so fine living by the coastline
Now it’s so hard working down the salt mines
We tried so hard to stick together through the bad times
Now we’re all alone living through hard lines

We’re out of time…
