There'll be buckets, spades and bingo, cockles, mussels, rainy days, seaweed and sand castles, icy waves, Deck chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down, sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze. Oh Blackpool, oh Blackpool. “ Up the ‘Pool”, Roy Harper (1996) Seaside sunshine It's a warm day, the sun is shining Someone says 'let's go to Brighton’… We left a London a-where it's hot We're heading for our favourite spot Down on the coast way past the town of Crawley Where the breeze blows and the air tastes of the sea We a-walk along the promenade pier Spend a pound or two on fun and beer Then look around, see what we can see Bikini girls and everybody smiling happily “ The Seaside Shuffle”, Terry Dactyl and The Dinosaurs (1972)
3. Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down Armageddon - come armageddon! Come, armageddon! come! Everyday is like sunday Everyday is silent and grey Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard : How I dearly wish I was not here In the seaside town ...that they forgot to bomb Come, come, come - nuclear bomb Coastal erosion “ Everyday is like Sunday” Morrissey (1988) The seaside needs us more than ever “ Seaside”, Ordinary Boys (2004)
