LYRICS:
I know it's out of fashion And a trifle uncool But I can't help it I'm a romantic fool It's a habit of mine To watch the sun go down On Echo Beach I watch the sun go down From nine to five I have to spend my time at work The job is very boring I'm an office clerk The only thing that helps me Pass the time away Is knowing I'll be back At Echo Beach some day On some enchanted evening The sky's alive with lights Our building in the distance Is a surrealistic sight On Echo Beach waves make the only sound On Echo Beach there's not a soul around From nine to five I have to spend my time at work The job is very boring I'm an office clerk The only thing that helps me Pass the time away Is knowing that I'll be back At Echo Beach some day Echo Beach, far away in time Echo Beach, far away in time

REVIEWS:
x
The record finishes with a totally uninspiring cover of Martha and the Muffins' 'Echo Beach'. It's generic production at its most dull. A shame, and a blemish on what is otherwise an impressive and authoritative debut. Lisa Sutlieff
x
This is a horribly earnest version of a sappy ballad originally recorded by a Canadian pop group forever doomed now to bounce back and forth between pop singers like some monstrous pong ball. Ben Convey
