[3/4]
[mp]

On the seafront down at Brighton we used to harmonise.
Me, Grifton and Jonny, Slick and some other guys.
We were singing oldies, but they were goodies then.
And today when I'm playing my old forty-fives, I remember when...

[mf]

We practiced in a back room, down at old Saint Lou's Hall,
Crowding under the arches, singing doo-wop to the wall.
And when we played the Richmond, we'd really pack 'em in.
And the people would travel from miles around just to hear The Razors sing

[f]

Cos we were looking for an echo,
An answer to our sound,
A place to be in harmony,
A place we almost found.

We'd forget the world around us when we sang Old Chappel Bells.
We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Halftones and the Dels.
[cresc.]
And when we sang sincerly, we would sing with all our might.
Even though the town was sleeping, we'd break the still of the night...

[C# F#]
[ff]

We've seen a lot of changes since when we first began.
We've gone our seperate ways now, even sang in some other bands.
[f]
Now we've turned into oldies, but we were newies then.
And today when I'm playing my old forty-fives, I remember when...

[C# D# F# G#]
[ff]

Cos we were looking for an echo,
An answer to our sound,
A place to be in harmony,
A place we almost found.

As in a sound having a fundamental pitch at some multiple of 370 Hz? Or 
as in the the multi-paradigm programming language targeting the .NET CIL 
and pretending to be functional?

Ah! As if. No, that would by Rocky Sharpe and the Replays.

For those who don't know, there used to be a band called Rocky Sharpe 
and the Razors. Then they split up. Half of them became The Darts, and 
went on to be greatly successful. The other half - well, the other three 
really - went on to become Rocky Sharpe and the Replays, and were 
somewhat less successful. (Mind you, from what I can tell, The Darts 
are, like, 9 people! That's quite a big band.)

Either way, it's a lovely little waltz. But if you look up the lyrics on 
the Internet, you'll find a nearly identical but different song by 
another band.

PS. It's ironic that all the CDs I was really looking forward to turned 
out to be not that great, and the ones I got as fillers turned out to be 
fantastic!
