On That Note: Beach Baby

[MeanDean]

I have been traveling for a week but have finally arrived at my winter digs here in Florida.

Feeling particularly inspired by the sights, sounds and smells of the ocean I am picking a related topic for this week. We are looking for songs with titles and/or lyrics containing one or more of the following words: Seaside, Coast, Strand, Shore(line) or Beach.

Last week's OTN was on the topic - Return of the Vampires. It can be found here:

Your hosts for OTN are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand.

 

[MeanDean]

You may do a Rhumba or a Tango
Mambo, Calypso or a Strand

 

[MeanDean]

I got something up and down this coast
I bet you my last dollar, girl
Like a love you love the most

 

[MeanDean]

Well, I'm goin' out west out on the coast
Where the California girls are really the most

 

[MeanDean]

Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Always slipping from my hands
Sand's a time of its own
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh, I want the truth to be known

She was seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin' on ringside, on top of the world, oh, yeah.
She had her drink in her hand; she had her toes in the sand and whoa, what a beautiful girl, ah, yeah.

 

[pourcyne]

Sitting in a bar in a seaside town
Sweet little love getting high getting down
Sailors see her running along the beach
Laugh and jump out of reach

'It's just the way of changing, like the shoreline of the sea'..

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I'm burning bridges shore to shore

 

[pourcyne]

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony (Ooh)
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

 

[madguy30]

 

[pourcyne]

And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach
Of crazy sorrow



But I prefer this version...

 

[pourcyne]

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

 

[pourcyne]

Oh, flew in by Miami Beach B.O.A.C.
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
