The Beautiful South - Oh Blackpool lyrics

rate me

(Heaton/Rotheray)

I wasn't sure if it was Marx or Hitler that was in this year

I hadn't been to Brighton for a while so it wasn't too clear

So imagine my surprise when I opened my eyes

To find it was the Liberals who were hip to sloganeer

I'm out tonight and can't decide between Soviet hip or British pride

So help me out, so help me out

Blackpool help me out, Scarborough pull me through

So help me out

They wore enamel badges of David Steel on their sleeves

And nuclear power no thanks, not sure and yes please

And their faces were two fold and their teeth they were gold

And they wore their pinstripe suits with a rip at the knee
