Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailing, sailing
Can the people hear
What the little fish are saying, yeah?
Ooh, ooh, people turned away
People turned away
Down in the city streets
See the folk go racing, racing
There's no time left, no, no
To pass the time of the day, yeah
Ooh, ooh, people turned away
We both turned away
So far away, so far away
Can you still do the twist?
Do you find that you remember things that well?
Let me tell you, some go twisting every day
And you find it awful hard to tell, ah ha, ah ha, ah ha
Out in the country
Hear the people singing, singing
They're singing 'bout their progress, oh
They know where they're going, yeah
Ooh, ooh, people turned away
People turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
Give your love to lady nature
And she'll come back again, yeah
Ooh, ooh, we both turned away
We both turned away
