[Intro] [Verse one] This town had at all Affluence from the promenade to the town hall If you were someone, you were in for a lot of fun Socialising, drinking and partying under the sun [Verse two] A town like this was just for the rich and richer It wasn't for anyone who was a pauper If you had the money, this place was your holiday Even better if you call this a place to stay [Instrumental] [Bridge] Who needed the French Riviera, Mykonos or Thailand? This place back in its day was grand From the 1800s to recent times, you had a ball But changing times and the economy saw its downfall [Chorus] You had to be there Feel the Summer breeze in your hair Socialising and sampling the finest food and drink All the pleasure and no need to think [Instrumental] [Verse three] Then the working class were invited in Against this place, it was the ultimate sin Over the years, this town lost its grandeur Things began to look rougher and rougher [Bridge] All the best restaurants, shops and hotels began to close Degradation seen from the buildings to the hedgerows It was no longer the place for us wealthy We took our money and all began to flee [Chorus] You had to be there Feel the Summer breeze in your hair Too bad it all changed for the worst It was a nice bubble that sadly burst [Outro]
