The Banks of the English Bay

I've been around But I've only been around for a short while I've seen it all I've seen all that I can on TV That's where the war begins That's where the art comes to an end Now here we are standing on the shoreline looking out at the city And jumping in, with a "someone's gotta test the water this year" That's where my memory ends With sad facts and hard science And the discoveries keep coming in Sad facts keep coming in The sad truth and the science One step in the right direction Won't change the world but it's a start Someone's gotta see the good in everything And that there's more than just the stars to think about That's where the art comes out That's where the truth of the heart comes out That's where my memories lay On the banks of the English Bay Beneath the tree-lined cityscape The grey sky and the falling rain
