Down by the seaside. See the boats go sailin' 

Can the people hear, What the little fish are sayin' 



Oh, oh, people turned away. Oh, people turned away 



Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racin', racin' 

No time left, to pass the time of day 



People turned away. 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 twistin' every day 

though sometimes it's awful hard to tell 



Out in the country, hear the people singin' 

Singin' 'bout the growin', knowin' where they're goin' 



Oh, oh, oh, oh, people turned away 

Yes, 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 

people turned away
