Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Mar. 7, 2010]

This island is full of noises

She's cold as sand, my little one
Golden brown, cold as sand
Little one
Little one
Golden hand
She's the one
Understand

What's her name
Who's to blame
What's her name
What's her name
Was she and who's to blame
What's her name
Who's to blame
What a shame
What's her name
Who's to blame
What's her name
What's her name
What a shame
Who's to blame
Not me

I was walking along
Singing a song
Doing no wrong, no not me
Found some keys
So I do what I please
Started to freeze (not me)
What's her name
What a shame
Who's to blame (not me)

It's not too bad
For a human

Turned into things
Made me see
Made me think
Made me a liar
Was dreaming out loud
Part of the crowd
Dreaming out loud was I
Orchestra

Gonna tell you that there gonna be a warm day
(I've got Beowulf waiting, can't make him wait for me)
You'll be my woman if you want
(I've got Beowulf waiting, can't make him wait for me)
I bought you flowers, did you like the thorns?
(I've got Beowulf waiting, can't keep you waiting for me)
Took you to the lake, you were tempted by the swans
(I've got Beowulf waiting)
Chew a piece of steak, did you like the horns?
(I've got Beowulf waiting)
Walking along singing my song, doing no wrong, not me
(I've got Beowulf waiting, can't make him wait for me)
Hey babe, do you wanna come along, that's right
(I've got Beowulf waiting, can't make him wait for me)
Hey little baby, I wrote you this stupid song
(I've got Beowulf waiting, can't make him wait for me)
It's all about you child, I could do you no wrong, not me
(I've got Beowulf waiting, can't make him wait for me)
Now switch off that TV baby, put down your little bong
(I've got Beowulf waiting, can't make him wait for me)
Hey baby rev up the engine, let's cruise down to Wollongong
(I've got Beowulf waiting)
I do believe we can visit that friend of yours from Hong Kong
We can get there for a song

At midnight we assembled
The long groves to the ocean
It was another time
Time of gaiety
Abandon
Just after the war
People knew they didn't have long
We were unconcerned
We consulted mediums
We contacted the people on the other side
I'm preparing such a beautiful place for you here my love
It's always Summer
I've seen Matthews
He sends his regards
