Billy Bragg
Island of Humour
Oh how I love to read you in the morning
(It's so funny)
Your clever words and funny drawings
(Laugh I nearly)
Well you've got to have a sense of humour
(It's so funny)
Laugh I nearly
(It's so funny)
It's so funny
(Laugh I nearly)
[Chorus]
My mum was laughing, you should'a heard her
The more she laughed the more you've got away with murder
And dad was laughing, it was the same thing
To hear him laugh well it would tug upon your heartstrings
Nobody lives on a
Nobody lives on a
Island of humour, of satire and rumour
Your cheap shot of habit that grows like a tumour
Well it's another night of guilty chuckles
(It's so funny)
Up on the screen, a laugh a minute
(Laugh I nearly)
If you didn't laugh well you'd be crying
(It's so funny)
Laugh I nearly
(It's so funny)
It's so funny
Laugh I nеarly
[Chorus]
My mum was laughing, you should'a heard her
The morе she laughed the more you've got away with murder
And dad was laughing, it was the same thing
To hear him laugh well it would tug upon your heartstrings
Nobody lives on a
Nobody lives on a
Nobody lives on a
Island of humour, of satire and rumour
Your cheap shot of habit that grows like a tumour
You laughed when we lost
When we won you just gloated
It all might add up if we knew how you voted
An island of humour
An island of humour
Where nothing is sacred, and everything's true sir
An island of humour
An island of humour
An island of humour
No not even you sir
No not even you
No not even you sir
No not even you
