Crowds of people wait for me
Sea gulls scavenge
Steal ice cream
Worries vanish
Within my dream
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free
No singing may-day any more
The sun is shining
The Water's clear
Just you and I walk along the pier
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free
Some get stung it's worth the cost
I'd love to stay
The city calls me home
More hassles fuss and lies on the phone
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free
Down by the sea
I lost control with you,
And living, living,
And I, living, by the sea

essentially, this is the audio equivalent of an autumn day at the beach. clouds in the sky, a chill in the air, but still very peaceful. wonderful

this song is amazing,they used it as the theme tune in the english t.v. docuseries shipwrecked

When I hear this song I imagine a lonely dock overlooking the sea and then this girl in a flowy dress on a cliff overlooking the dock.

pshh, you weren't kidding when you decided to name yourself "Obvious One", were you?
nice.

wtf?! seriously. did the "Obvious One" really write what i just read? God, that has to be the worst comment i have ever encountered. EVER. BWAHAHHAHA

Me finks this song is about someone who longs back to a certain holiday or vacationspot, where they got themselves lost in joyous lustful activities and managed to surpress the stress of everyday life.
Hi ,
Hi ,
For me this song is way more then just describing the SEA or the artist's exploration of the wonders of a secluded sea or whatever . It speaks of something much Purer and higher. The Lines -

For me this means ten different things !! It can mean that the Author fell in love with the Sea and from that point on Started to ":Live:" ... For many others it can mean so so much..The point in the Line , LOST CONTROL , LIVING...
For me this means ten different things !! It can mean that the Author fell in love with the Sea and from that point on Started to ":Live:" ... For many others it can mean so so much..The point in the Line , LOST CONTROL , LIVING FREE can also mean a single point or period (Timeframe , Incidence , Point of time) where one can narrow down to - at which point one started to LIVE LIFE..A definate ALternate culture , Hippy vibe to this song for sure and yet it can also be interpreted as an inspirational song for people to go seek that something (maybe a partner , Maybe a vocation , maybe social service or what ever) which will allow them to live life to the fullest (Live FREE) ...
Atleast thats my meaning for this song and i absolutely love this song!!

I lost my soul there down by the Thames, London is such a great city :)
left my soul*
left my soul*

isn't it about Brighton though?

This song is about someone that relishes that one spot... the place they can release and be themselves.. so much that they want to leave their soul there to return each time nd enjoy it.. over and over. Ordinary things are appreciated and can be special there.. the sea.
No more may days; nothing bad can happen here... life is simple fun and free.. of bullshit and just like a warm blanket for their soul.

This song is written about the beachside bar 'Bar Vasa
