Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailing
Can the people hear
What the little fish are saying
Oh oooh
The people turned away
The people turned away
Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racing, racing
No time left
To pass the time of day
The people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away
See how they run, see how they run
See how they run, see how they run
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 growin'
Knowing where they're goin'
Oh, oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature
And she will come back again
The people turned away
The people turned away
