This Island lyrics

Artist  : Wheatus 
Song : This Island



 Send "This Island" Ringtone to your Cell 

 I met the King of England once

But the guys at the deli back home

They don't believe me

I ride my bike all around

Round my hometown

Where nobody knows me



And they say that the problem is mine and I
should take

Take a more positive line on the situation

When solutions are staring me right in the
face

Yet we've run out of time

But if I do what you'd say everything would be
fine



Well no thanks, I'd rather sit here and die on
this island

Cash it in and stick to the end

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

Can't you see than I need this to end



I had a dream about a song

It was so strong

It made all the rights wrong

But when I went to write it all down

Capture the sound

You won't believe what I found



Yeah it all came out bad, mad and sad when I
played it

It sounded like, more like a fad that had
lasted

A little too long that it had and I realised

That this was as good as it got

There's no snowmen in hell cos it's too fuckin'
hot



So no thanks, I'd rather sit here and die on this
island

Cash it in and stick to the end

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

Can't you see than I need this to end



Yeah I thought that I knew who I was

What did I know?

Nothing, or all the above did I mention

Those hip new ideas that 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

??? right through

But you already knew that was true

Since you tried it the first 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 how he wanted you to

Have you learned how to live with regret

Yeah I can't get these things in my head

Cos if I turned out like you I would wish I was
dead



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