The Sea Lyrics

It's Friday morning

And you rush out of bed

Getting dressed for success

And then you're off

To the office towers where you work as an intern

At the firm that your daddy owns

And later you'll take the train from Victoria Station

To Worthing

Where you grew up in a house by the sea

And I will be back here

Standing in the bar

Serving gentlemen on a role

Wasting time on going nowhere at all

Oh, Claudia

What have you become?

What if your daddy knew

That you're slumming on St Pauls Avenue?

Take a look at yourself

You and no one else

It's in the air that we breathe

We share the same chemistry

Your boyfriend is coming too

With some friends of yours

And you'll hang out in a house by the sea

Having cocktails

And telling jokes about the bartender

Around the corner from where you work

Who always look at you

You can see that he's dreaming

Of someone and a life he'll never have

Oh, if they only knew

That we're fucking

And that the air that we breathe

Holds the same chemistry

No matter what class we're supposed to be

Oh, Claudia

What have you become?

What if your daddy knew

That you're slumming on St Pauls Avenue?

Take a look at yourself

You and no one else

It's in the air that we breathe

We share the same chemistry

I know I'm your favourite waste of time

And that's all I will ever be

You don't fool me

I know you can't love me

'Cause I can't buy you a life by the sea

Oh, Claudia

What have you become?

What if your daddy knew

That you're slumming on St Pauls Avenue?

Take a look at yourself

You and no one else

It's in the air that we breathe

We share the same chemistry

I know your kind, Claudia

You're from a different class

We breathe the same air

And that's the only chemistry we share
