Elton John - Grimsby lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album caribou<br><br>As I lay dreaming in my bed<br>Across the great divide<br>I thought I heard the trawler boats<br>Returning on the tide<br>And in this vision of my home<br>The shingle beach did ring<br>I saw the lights along the pier<br>That made my senses sing<br><br>Oh oh grimsby, a thousand delights<br>Couldn't match the sweet sights<br>Of my grimsby<br>Oh england you're fair<br>But there's none to compare with my grimsby<br>Through nights of mad youth<br>I have loved every sluice in your harbour<br>And in your wild sands from boyhood to man<br>Strangers have found themselves fathers<br><br>Take me back you rustic town<br>I miss your magic charm<br>Just to smell your candy floss<br>Or drink in the skinners arms<br>No cordon bleu can match the beauty<br>Of your pies and peas<br>I want to ride your fairground<br>Take air along the quay
