7.Precious Island
Some sailors say they sail for several years and seldom see the
sand at all
Oh I know that must be kind of dull
The sea's a salty slippery friend it smells like fish and death
and never ends
Oh you know this life is kind of dull
All we do is sail around for miles and miles and
All we want is a bit of dirt and sand
A little precious island
Precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the
head
And we don't care if it's Hamilton or somewhere with better
hotels like maybe Thailand
Everything that's not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
All we do is sail around for miles and miles and
All we want is a bit of dirt and sand
A little precious island
Precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the
head
And we don't care if it's Oshawa or somewhere with fewer trucks
like the Scottish Highlands
Everything that's not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
There's a thousand reasons to hate the water
Unless you are a killer whale, a squid or a sea otter
You need a precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the
head
And we don't care if it's Pickering or somewhere where the cows
are loud and the malls are silent
Everything that's not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
