This Island

I met the King of England once but the guys in the deli back home they don't believe me.

I ride my bike all around round my home town where nobody knows me.

And I think that the problem is mine they I should take

And take a more positive line on the situation when solutions are staring me right in the

Face it we've run out of time

But if you do what I say everything will be fine

Well

No thanks I'd rather sit here and die on this island

Can't you see I need this to end and be dead.

I had a dream about a song. It was so strong.

It made all the rights wrong

I tried to write it all down. Capture the sound.

You won't believe what I found.

But the good turned to bad,

that had lasted a little too long than it had and I realized that this was as good as it got.

There's no snowballs in hell cause it's too fuckin hot so

No thanks I'd rather sit here and die on this island

Can't you see I need this to end and be dead.

Yeah I thought that I knew who I was what did I know

off nothing or all the above I did I mention

those hip new ideas I got from you last week

they sucked all the life out of life in a heartbeat

and ripped mine right out of my chest aand the kids saw right through but you already knew that was true since

you tried it the 1st time in 1989 when

you were the one in my shoes and some asshole

like you told you what you should do when you do what

you do and you had to do it like he wanted you to

have you learned how to live with regret yet

I can't keep these these things in my head

If I turn out like you I will wish I was dead
