Grimsby Lyrics - Caribou - Elton John

As I lay dreamin' in my bed 

Across the great divide 

I thought I heard the trawler boats 

Returnin' on the tide 

And in this vision of my home 

The shingle beach did ring 

I saw the lights along the pier 

That made my senses sing 

Oh oh Grimsby, a thousand delights 

Couldn't match the sweet sights 

Oh, my Grimsby 

Oh, England you're fair 

But there's none to compare with my Grimsby

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Through nights of mad youth 

I have loved every sluice in your harbor 

And in your wild sands, boyhood to man 

Strangers have found themselves fathers 

Take me back you rustic town 

I miss your magic charm 

Just to smell your candy floss 

Or drink in the skinners arms 

No Cordon Bleu can match the beauty 

Of your pies and peas 

I want to ride your fairground 

Take air along the key 

Oh Grimsby, a thousand delights 

Couldn't match the sweet sights 

Oh, my Grimsby 

Oh, England you're fair 

But there's none to compare with my Grimsby 

Through nights of mad youth 

I have loved every sluice in your harbor 

And in your wild sands, boyhood to man 

Strangers have found themselves fathers 

Grimsby, oh, a thousand delights 

Couldn't match the sweet sights 

Oh, my Grimsby 

Oh, England you're fair 

But there's none to compare with my Grimsby 

Grimsby, oh, a thousand delights 

Couldn't match the sweet sights 

Oh, my Grimsby 

Oh, England you're fair 

But there's none to compare with my Grimsby
