Seaside

The Kooks · Inside In / Inside Out [2006]

Do you want to go to the seaside?

I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go

I fell in love at the seaside

I handled my charm with time and slight of hand

Do you want to go to the seaside?

I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go

I fell in love at the seaside

She handled her charm with time and slight of hand, and oh

But I'm just trying to love you

Any kind of way

But I find it hard to love you girl

When you're far away

Away

Do you want to go to the seaside?

I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go

But I fell in love on the seaside

On the seaside

In the seaside
