Miles out to Sea - Slade

From the corner of my eye, I was looking out and why

To see all the things we did, to see hope in where we hid

From the outside looking in, was a stranger with a grin

Seeing bombhead on a rope, he was swinging high and low

High and low

We were miles out to sea — did we float, you and me?

Maybe one day we’ll go back for more

We were miles from the bay — did we float, I should say

Maybe next time we’ll leave from the shore

From the corner of my eye, I was looking out and why

There were sounds you never heard and then dump was the new word

Look at last nite was that nite, a sharp lady got it right

We song songs from cabaret and we laughed the night away

Right away

We were miles out to sea — did we float, you and me?

Maybe one day we’ll go back for more

We were miles from the bay — did we float, I should say

Maybe next time we’ll leave from the shore

The mad monk was such a sight, red hair hanging in the light

And a temple to call home, is he living there alone?

From the outside looking in, was a stranger with a grin

He saw all the things we did, we saw hope in where we hid, yes we did

We were miles out to sea — did we float, you and me?

Maybe one day we’ll go back for more

We were miles from the bay — did we float, I should say

Maybe next time we’ll leave from the shore
