Bottle on the Beach (Live, The Klub Foot, Hammersmith, 22 September 1984)

1: Cruisin' on a sand dune listenin' to the sea,
Thinkin' bout the Gal who I thought belonged to me
Then near my sand dune I hear a distant beat
I threw my eyes at what looked like a bottle on the beach,
a bottle on the beach,
a bottle on the beach...

There was a bottle, a bottle a bottle on the beach
the label told me open, I lost my sense of speech
I had a funny feelin' that to open it was right
it hit me with a rhythm that I listened to all night, listened to all night
there was a bottle, a bottle, a bottle on the beach.

2: Well when I finished listenin' I took the bottle home
I thought about the money and I jumped right on the phone
After talkin' to the press men for not so very long
I went to fetch the bottle and I found that it was gone,
found that it was gone,
found that it was gone...

There was a bottle... etc...

3: After seeing my Psychiatrist, I went down to the bar
ordered me a bottle and I took it to my car
drivin' to the sand dune I heard the beat again
it was the bottle I was drinkin' from I'll never be the same
never be the same
never be the same...

There was a bottle... etc...
