Living in an island - The Boomtown Rats
Written by：Bob Geldof
Night fell fast like it did in the past
When the phone rang
Twice and a voice said I think I'm alone
I gave my advice
And the voice said Nice but suicide
Leaves such a bad
Aftertaste on the soul
Oh aren't you glad that we live on an island
You can choose your own way of being killed
You can jump off a cliff
And get drowned in the sea
Or be dashed gainst the rocks and get split
And it could happen to you
It could happen to you
It could happen to you
And if it do then you're a true blue suiside
By side they waled into the tide
Till it rose to their nose and then
They kissed with their eyes goodbye
They were seen to smile just before they dived
Dead lovers don't have much
Except a certain desperate sense of style
But aren't you glad etc
You can choose your own way of being killed
You can jump off a cliff
And get drowned in the sea
Or be dashed gainst the rocks and get split
And it could happen to you
It could happen to you
It could happen to you
And if it do then you're a true blue suiside
There were a lot of crazy problems
That they couldn't resolve
A lot of tricky questions
Which they just couldn't solve
The main problem was of course
He couldn't say no
On your marks get ready
Steady here we go
In a fifth floor lift a man slit his wrist
His head ticked over and then it
Suddenly slipped away
And the girl in the mask
At the back of the shack
Lay her head on the track
And said I think it's better this way
Oh she was glad that
She lived on an island
You can choose your own way of being killed
You can jump off a cliff
And get drowned in the sea
Or be dashed gainst the rocks and get split
And it could happen to you
It could happen to you
It could happen to you
