In hastings when I was younger
I called bingo numbers
The pier was the place to be
If foreign students you would meet
Oh we walk underneath the palm stony bee
Just near bottle alley where the land turns
Into sea by hastings pier
In hastings when I was younger
Amusement seem the summer
Uphold that day from boarding school
Basking on memorial
There are pride my trade to general to stay
A handful of those change to prudent on machines
On hastings pier
Hastings when I was younger
To see could take you longer
Never much swam in there
But a skin some stones and a breath the air
The who the rolling stones Pink Floyd
Set parits fire show
Didn't take that long to get to wanna know
That ghost of hastings pier
In October 2010
Someone torched the pier and I watched it
Burned like halloween
Melting my computer screen
When the smoke cleared it had almost disappear
Beaten by the wind and rainful one hundred years
Hastings pier
Take me there
