lyrics

Boys just dig holes in the sand
At the beach by the waterside
I don't know what it's like to be a man
And peer into the kill (into the kill, into the kill)
Out of the black into the blue
You dip your feet into the cool

Looks like a castle in the sand
If only fathers would stick around
But I don't know what it's like to be a man
I don't know what it's like to be a man.

I said we could kiss forever
But I might go insane with pleasure he said
What are you doing to me girl?
But I wasn't doing anything at all I really wasn't you see
Hell, I'm just here inhabiting the holes
That you dig and dig so you can feel better

Looks like a castle in the sand
If only fathers would stick around
But I don't know what it's like to be a man
I don't know what it's like to be a man

If I were the same you might be frightened less
And if you came body and soul
Back into the blue back into the whole
Well I wouldn't feel so overwhelmed when you are gone
Back to the black back to your rock

Looks like a castle in the sand
If only fathers would stick around
But I don't know what it's like to be a man
I don't know what it's like to be a man

Bethia Beadman image

Bethia Beadman London, UK

The Quietus described her as a cross between Maria Callas and Ziggy Stardust. Bethia Beadman' new album 'Into the Peace' has been played on BBC Radio by Robert Elms and Janice Long: Intimate and confessional, the songs emerge from a violent energy. Like the best artists, all Bethia’s life experiences have ended up in her voice – languid, velvety, with a resonant cloak of darkness. ... more
