Precious Island - The Burning Hell
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 that must be 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
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
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
Oh when all the world is wet
You bet we get a little funny in the head
We don't care if it's Pickering
Somewhere where the cows are loud and the malls are silent
Everything that's not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
