Print Version


A brown-skin girl wipes the suit from her window
Just to watch the sun rise over big city skies
Her falther awakes "Cuffs" lights his first cigarette
You know he's got to go when that factory whistle blows
So he walks out into the streets
And all of his friends that he meets
Wonder why did they ever leave their sunny island

The wind blows cold with it brings the snows
You live in hand to mouth next winter you move South
If your number falls or if you work those extra hours
But you only live in a dream
That carries you back on its wings
And all your friends just sit around the bar
And sing about your sunny island

And there ain't no surf
It's the sidewalks on 42nd street
And the natives down there
They ain't so friendly
In fact they would stick you
For the shoes on your feet
Just make you want to retreat
To your sunny island

The traffic eats the streets you're running from the heat
That keeps coming down pushing you into the ground
You're learning far too late your children learn to hate
The way you live but you got nomore to give
And in dockland they still arrive
With promised land in their eyes
And you just wish you could live out your life
On your sunny island

And there ain't no surf
It's the sidewalks on 42nd street
And the natives down there
They ain't so friendly
In fact they would stick you
For the shoes on your feet
Just make you want to retreat
To your sunny island

  • Albatross
    "There they were...the islands. Big ones, small ones, beautiful ones
    and wasted ones . . . But wherever they went, wherever they looked,
    wherever they put their feet...only uninhabitable, exploited, devastated
    sands. . . They encountered everything they meant to leave behind. War......"

    He handed it to her
    Explaining it was solely for her own protection
    You know it can't be bought for money..."
  • Boots Of Spanish Leather
    "I'm sailing away my own true love
    I'm sailing away in the morning

    From the place where I'll be landing..."
  • Caledonia
    "From the loins of a fisherman
    From the harbour of Crail he went sailing
    And his first born son left the rolling sea
    Went into the earth to make his living..."

    "I'm gonna live with the cinnamon girl
    I could be happy the rest of my life

    A dreamer of pictures and run in the night..."

    "Just 18 and the money's short
    A victim of public transport

    And he checked her out and he checked his watch..."
  • Great Pretender
    "Oh yes I'm the great pretender
    Pretending that I'm doin' well

    I'm lonely, but no one can tell..."
  • Headin For South America
    "across the sea, hoping to discover an island somewhere beyond the

    hoping that someday they shall follow...
    Let's make sail the wind is right..."
