Life on an Island Lyrics by Man & The Echo

Men of the Moment

2019

(Ah)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
I woke up feeling spectacular
One day, about 5 years ago
As I recall now, I stayed at home
I had nowhere to go
Now I've adopted new vernacular
Like "sorry, busy, have to go"
And "I need an early night, now here's a smoke"
Yeah, I'm [?] joke and broke
(Life on an island)
And I'm tired all the time
(Life on an island)
Cuz this is real life
(Life on an island)
There is escape on the horizon
(Life on an island)
Don't know if I can get that far
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
I met a real life bohemian
Oh, in his mansion to talk business
He said I don't know why you don't just finish
He was a mental midget
He said, "hey, baby, baby, think of yourself
Don't let your life affect your health
Just simply set yourself free."
[?]
(Life on an island)
And I'm tired all the time
(Life on an island)
Cuz this is real life
(Life on an island)
I saw escape on the horizon
(Life on an island)
But the problem is getting that far
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Give it up now when your dick don't work, when your bottle is burst
Give it up when you're at your worst
Give it up when your [?] eats shit and you're riddled with it
And the only pleasure left in life is [?]
Can't take my misery with me
But I can leave it behind
I heard a man is an island
That's why I live on an island
There is no [?] sea
There is no Adam and Eve
There is no one you really need
I can feel it, every single thing
