The Golden Mile Smile

[Intro]
[Verse]
Platform four, the Manchester train
Stepping out into the horizontal rain
Sheila’s fringe is looking a state
But we’re never running late
Platform boots on the promenade
Living like we’re the avant-garde
Glitter on a budget, darling
Hear the local seagulls snarling
[Pre-Chorus]
Chips are soaking in the tray
What a perfect Saturday
Watch the birds up in the sky
Kiss the world and say goodbye
Salt is thick upon the breeze
Bringing us right to our knees
[Chorus]
It’s the Blackpool roar
On a sticky dance floor
Give me some more
Of the life we adore
Yeah, we’re soaking to the bone
But we’re never on our own
It’s a Golden Mile smile
Stay a little while
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, the Blackpool roar)
(Ooh-ooh, give us some more)
[Verse]
Sneaking pints in the Sunken Bar
Wondering where the boys all are
Don’t care much for the arcade
Or the plans that we never made
Salt air sticking to our skin
Where do we even begin?
Honky-tonk piano plays
Lost inside a neon haze
[Pre-Chorus]
Chips are soaking in the tray
What a perfect Saturday
Watch the birds up in the sky
Kiss the world and say goodbye
Salt is thick upon the breeze
Bringing us right to our knees
[Chorus]
It’s the Blackpool roar
On a sticky dance floor
Give me some more
Of the life we adore
Yeah, we’re soaking to the bone
But we’re never on our own
It’s a Golden Mile smile
Stay a little while
[Bridge]
When the muted trumpet plays
Through the northern summer haze
And the piano starts to ring
That’s when we begin to sing
Loud and proud and out of key
This is where we’re meant to be
No more work and no more stress
In this beautiful, damp mess
[Solo]
[Chorus]
It’s the Blackpool roar
On a sticky dance floor
Give me some more
Of the life we adore
Yeah, we’re soaking to the bone
But we’re never on our own
It’s a Golden Mile smile
Stay a little while
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, the Blackpool roar)
(Ooh-ooh, give us some more)
Stay a little while
With a Golden Mile smile
[Outro]
