I should say that I got off lightly
When, when you put me down
I should know 'cause I miss you nightly
When, when you're not around
For I lost my sense of proportion
I'm all right and I've kept my head
I'll give all my love to Southend
I might've lost my mind completely
You, you wouldn't care
You've got love that you give so sweetly
I, I don't get a share
I'll turn on to a newer direction
Cut my loss and shift the scene instead
I'll give all my love to Southend
Where I can see see lights
Where I can sleep sleep nights
Count those stone stones on the beach
Touch your world within my reach
Take a trip trip out to sea
See the pier float over me
And it can't hurt me now
No one can hurt me now
You stay on with your boozing rum run
I'll be far away
You had your chances
You're not using one one
You have had your day
I'll go where I'm appreciated
Buy my piece and lose my head
I'll give all my love to Southend
I'll give all my love to Southend
I'll give all my love to Southend
