The Fixx
Sinking Island (Special Extended Dance Remix)
[Verse]
Lions Kneel, Christians war
Sour taste 'cause the meat was raw
Howard Hughes was never ill, just his brain was a little sore
Peeping Toms have no will!
Pure emotion never fails!
Shop girls with their hands in tills
We'll film ourselves
[Chorus]
People come and people go
Is this a sinking island?
All aboard for the people [?]
Next stop is where?
[Verse]
Chicken in the pot
Rice on the menu
All we need is a change of venue
Cargo's dragged down the docks
All the cargo's gold and rocks
You got a high note, let me know!
'Cause I got a ticket and...
(a-ha-ha!)
(Hello George.)
(Hello mate.)
[Chorus]
People come and people go
Is this a sinking island?
All aboard for the people [?]
Next stop is where?
[Bridge?]
(Well, now for the big question
What is the meaning of life?
Will you find it in your right shoe or will you find it in your right left shoe?
It's all slightly up to you, honey.)
[Verse]
Lions kneel, Christians war
Sour taste 'cause the meat was raw
Howard Hughes was never ill, just his brain was a little sore
Peeping Toms have no will
All good Catholics take the bills
Shop girls with their hands in tills
We'll film ourselves
[Chorus]
People come and people go
Is this a sinking island?
All aboard for the people [?]
Next stop is where?
People come and people go
Is this a sinking island?
[Outro]
(Right, who's been poisoning the fish?
Own up
Who is it?
You can learn, honey
He's... he's out of his brains.)
L-lions kneel! Christians war
Sour taste... 'cause the meat was raw
Howard Hughes... was never ill!
Just his brain... was a little sore! (a-ha)
(a-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
(a-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
Derelict cars fill the streets, people live among them. (ha)
Tiny kids with no feet, beggars live to please them. (ha-ha!)
