Pleasure Beach Nights Lyrics

If I'd have known back then what I know today

I might've done it different who can say?

Regrets and wishes and might- have-beens are fool's gold

Like a drunkard's promise or a salesman's smile

However hot it seems in very short while

You're gonna find out how dreams turn cold

But the smallest things can take me right back

A TV show forgotten holiday snaps

The smell of asphalt cooling on a hot summer night

I still recall those pleasure beach nights

The whip and the waltzer and the neon lights

The big wheel and the roller coaster screams

The smell of candyfloss the pounding disco beat

The joy of it all swept us off our feet

Just you and me girl living a teenage dream

On those Pleasure Beach Nights

The romance hung like a fog in the hot summer air

The lights made a halo in your long blond hair

Every perfect second was a prize

The slot arcades and the fairground stalls

A bag chips on the seafront wall

This had to be the best night of our lives

And later we walked down on the sand

Enchanted lovers hand in hand

You asked me if I thought that this was love

I still recall those pleasure beach nights

The whip and the waltzer and the neon lights

The big wheel and the roller coaster screams

The smell of candyfloss the pounding disco beat

The joy of it all swept us off our feet

Just you and me girl living a teenage dream

On those Pleasure Beach Nights

If I'd have known back then what I know today

I might've done it different who can say?

I've no idea what happened to you I hope things turned out like you planned

Wherever you are maybe now and again

You'll remember that time way back when

We were king and queen of a neon wonderland

Perhaps the smallest things will take you right back

A TV show forgotten holiday snaps

The smell of asphalt cooling on a hot summer night

I still recall those pleasure beach nights

The whip and the waltzer and the neon lights

The big wheel and the roller coaster screams

The smell of candyfloss the pounding disco beat

The joy of it all swept us off our feet

Just you and me girl living a teenage dream

On those Pleasure Beach Nights
