Brighton in the Rain Lyrics

Ive never been to Athens, and Ive never been to Rome.

Ive only seen the pyramids in picture books at home.
Ive never sailed across the sea or been inside a plane.
Ive always spent my holidays in Brighton in the rain.
Ive never eaten foreign food or drunk in a foreign bar.
Ive never kissed a foreign girl or driven a foreign car.
Ive never had to find my way in a country I dont know.
Ive always known just where I am and where Ill never go.
Ive read travel books by writers who have been to Pakistan.
Ive heard people telling stories of adventures in Iran.
Ive watched TV documentaries about China and Brazil.
But Ive never been abroad myself Its making me feel ill.
Ive studied several language like Hindi and Malay.
Ive learnt lots of useful sentences Ive never been able to say.
The first of place Ive ever been was to the Isle of Man.
And that was full of tourist from Korea and Japan.
