From their 1984 album The Big Express
Lyrics:
It's raining on the beach
She inches close but out of reach
The waves look painted on
Seagulls screaming
The sea is warship grey
It whispers ``Fool!'' then slides away
Black coastline slumbers on
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her
And all the flags that flap on the pier
Spell why on earth do you want
The fog hides much but one thing is clear
She's nearer
Dead deck chairs under shrouds
And life belts gape like minstrel mouths
Her hair still smells of salt
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her
Kiss her, kiss her, kiss her, kiss her
He who hesitates is lost
If you want her, you should tell her
Take her by the hand If you hesitate
If you wait, November wins her November will win her
She returns to sand So get ahold of the girl
I say I like your coat
Her thank-you tugs my heart afloat
I nearly didn't hear for
Seagulls screaming kiss her, kiss her
He who hesitates is lost

Nobody has ever encapsualted the haunting beauty of a British seaside in deep winter better. Oh, and a tear inducing love song to boot. I once came across a lovely man called Anthony who held the door open for me offeringhis art gallery as shelter during a thunder storn in the west country about 10 years ago. He told us his tale of coming back from the brink. Art had saved him. This song reminds me of him. Google gallery anthony to see what I mean.
