Cast away on a desert island
Me and poor Crusoe are sharing the same fate
Cast away on a desert island
With Great Britain written on its name plate
With my umbrella I go walking
Through all the sands on a building site
Across the shopping malls and motorways
Birds from Heathrow fill the
Night with people flying to escape
Friday comforts me and says it's pay day
Cast away on a desert island...
The game and coconuts is plentiful
You pick 'em right off of a supermarket shelf
And all the man-eaters are parked away
Down in garages
While their selfish owners drinking to escape
Lord of flies with cocktails in his conch shell
Don't rescue me, no
This is my home sweet home dear
Don't rescue me, no
I am far from alone here
Cast away on a desert island
Me and one nation are sharing the same fate
Cast away on a desert island
With Great Britain written on its name plate
Cast away on a desert islandI've arrived at a degree
Of responsibility
Where sometimes coaxed by parents
Younger ones look up to me
To look in their eyes is to scope
A universe that's filled with hope
I want to show them light
But I'm afraid that they just might
Reach in...
Find me
Oh, God, I'll be exposed
They will see
They will know
I'm such a poor lost soul...
Inventing pain that makes me cry
So my pen will never dry
Is this activity that makes a model more worthy?
Don't look for too long at my face
You'll see that I'm in the wrong place
Where I belong remains a dream I'll always chase
Don't reach in, find me
Oh God, I'll be exposed
Who would have known
I'd become such a poor lost soul
