The Coast Is Always Changing Lyrics

I've met so many people who look the same,
Most were forgotten but you still remain,
Most of the time I don't care,
But London's so far away when you're there,
And so it saddens me to say,
I'm only happy when i move away

I am jung and I am lost,
Every sentence has its cost,
I am jung and I am lost,
You react to my riposte

We look out upon the sea,
The coast is always changing,
I'll bring my camera out to sea,
The coast is always changing

Age makes no difference till you open your mouth,
Use your time just to work things out,
I know that you can't understand,
When I tell you that this wasn't planned,
And so it saddens me to say,
I'm only happy when i move away

I am young and I am lost,
Every sentence has its cost,
I am young and I am lost,
You react to my riposte

We look out upon the sea,
The coast is always changing,
We'll take the train out to the sea,
My heart is always changing

It won't be long before you've gone,
I can't imagine leaving

We look out upon the sea,
The coast is always changing,
I'll bring my camera out to sea,
My heart is always changing,
We'll take the train out to the sea,
My pulse was always racing,
As we look out upon the sea,
The coast is always changing

And though it saddens me to say,
I'm still waiting for that day

Its about the effect of time. Evrything is constantly changing and so the good times we have as youngsters is brief and should be appretiated.

"I am young and I am lost"

Its a snap shot in our lifetime. I think it encourages us to enjoy life.

"I'll bring my camera out to sea"

"The coast is always changing"

i love this song i jsut got their album and listening to this one all the time. at the mo i can relate to it so much coz im leaving home for 6 months and i think the songs about being young and changing and being scared i love the lyrics because there so good without even realising that there so good!! hee for example:

I've met so many people who look the same, Most were forgotten but you still remain,

We look out upon the sea, The coast is always changing, I'll bring my camera out to sea, My heart is always changing, My pulse was always racing, As we look out upon the sea,

Age makes no difference till you open your mouth

It won't be long before you've gone, I can't imagine leaving

as you can tell im loving this band at the mo

And so it saddens me to say, I'm only happy when i move away

Don't you think its 'I am YOUNG'. Would make much more sense wouldnt it???

I saw this band last month for my birthday when they were on tour with Kaiser Chiefs and they seem like great fun. They also seem like their Geordie rivals.;)

Anyway, when I saw them, the frontman said that this song was about travelling to the East coast.

i agree that it should be "i am young" (whoever wrote the lyrics down put "young" the second time they wrote the chorus), and i also thought it was "you react to my repast"; is "riposte" even a word?

this album is awesome!!!!

this song is probably the best on it

it paints a picture of a childhood spent on the english coast, maybe as a gypsy or with some kind of itinerant parent
