This Island Lyrics - Too Soon Monsoon - Wheatus

I met the King of England once 

But the guys at the deli back home 

They don't believe me 

(Believe) 

I ride my bike all around 

Round my hometown 

Where nobody knows me 

(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 that I need this to end 

I had a dream about a song 

It was so strong 

It made all the right's wrong 

(Right, wrong) 

But when I went to write it all down 

Capture the sound 

You won't believe what I found 

(I found) 

Yeah, it turn 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 realized 

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 that I need this to end? 

Yeah, I thought that I knew, who I was, what 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 [Incomprehensible] 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 

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

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

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