The Beat Goes On lyrics - Chris Rea

See them talking on the corner
You'll see them every day
So many words, so many reasons
About the ship that sailed away
Was it somethingto do with bussines
What it love that done them wrong
Always somebody else to blame it seems,
For the half chance been and gone

The beat goes on,
I say the beat goes on
The beat goes on

See them drinking in the corners,
Be amazed at what they say
They've all got their tears and stories
About the big one that got away
There are always so many reasons
Why they misssed that place that day
Tales of woe and treason
About the ship that sail away

The beat goes on
Yeah, the beat goes on
And I see them everyday
Yeah, the beat goes on
