In Regency Square where once stood the Pier Victorian splendour still evident here but time has moved on and the 360 high is now the feature high up in the sky Yet standing here now the future I hold is recalling the heyday ('cos yes, I'm that old) when the West Pier still stood as a visual feast besting the new one a mile to the east
And none of the brash we see here today was even a thought to get in our way Slower those days I think then than now and I can't help but feel we've lost something somehow But though those days are gone mind's eyes' not prevented from memories clear and with that I'm contented For in Regency Square I still stand and can here see those halcyon days when still stood the West Pier
