Down by the seaside, see all the boats go sailing?
Can the people hear what the little fish are saying?
People turned away
The people turned away
Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racing, racing
There's no time left to pass the time of day
People turned away
The people turned away
So far away
Do you still do the twist?
Do you find you remember things that well?
I wanna tell you, some go twisting every day
Though sometimes, it's awful hard to tell
Out in the country, hear the people singing
Singing about their growing, knowing where they're going
People turned away
The people turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine and pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature and she will come back again
