Blue sky today
Let's get away
Out of here
Nothing to do
In this concrete zoo
But the sky is clear
Down to the train station
Jump on a Dart and travel out to the coast
Whenever the sun shone, Howth was the place
That the northside loved the most
We could get away
From here
And the sun
Let us stray
From here
So you don't
Forget your swimming gear
Coz we're gone
Chillin', chillin' on the sea-shore, sea-shore
We were chillin', chillin' on the sea-shore, sea-shore
Seagulls and waves
Female enclaves
All lookin'
So fine in the sun
All round the bay
Little kids play
Making their innocent fun
Drifting from radios, soft summer sounds
No sweeter a place could you be
Whenever the sun shone Howth was the place
I'd bury my sorrows at sea
We could get away
From here
And the sun
Let us stray
From here
So you don't
Forget your swimming gear
Coz we're gone
Chillin', chillin' on the sea-shore, sea-shore
We were chillin', chillin' on the sea-shore, sea-shore
We were laughing and joking, we were talkin' and smoking
We were sleeping and swimming, we were loving and living.
