I Am an Island

You guys okay out there?

Look, I apologise, I apologise for the band, it's just like

At short notice, it's the best band I could find at the time, you know?

(So get off your fuckin' asses) these guys were just around

(Or we kick your fuckin' ass to death, let's go)

One, two, three, four (can we get rid of your tables?)

Young hearts on Paradise Street

They tumble down like a poetry

Oh my, I gotta fly

I stretch up and touch the sky

Up and down with the party clown

Ballroom dancing in sequined gowns

I get so confused, searching for you, babe

How come you keep walking up there?

How come?

Little darling, this is the end

I needed you like oxygen

"I am an island", some sucker scrawled

"I am an island", on a city wall

At Broadway, walk the length and breadth

I think I'm smoking myself to death

You're bad for me, and bad for the soul

I think I'm losing my self-control

I got nothing but vacancy

I'm crawling after you on my hands and knees

I'm a coal car on a downhill track

I don't know what I'll do if you don't come back

Hey, no

Little darling, this is the end

I needed you like oxygen

"I am an island", some sucker scrawled

"I am an island", on a city wall

Huh, yeah, hey, yeah, woo

Little darling, this is the end

I needed you like oxygen

"I am an island", some sucker scrawled

"I am an island", on a city wall

Little darling, this is the end, oh

I needed you like oxygen

"I am an island", some sucker scrawled

"I am an island" on a city wall

Huh, yeah, fu-, oh, no, fuck, yeah-yeah, woo

This is Ralph, my best friend, it's alright
