Violent Femmes - This Island Life Lyrics
This teas too strong for meAs I await your companyI had too much sun todayOcean waters wash awayNothing but the presentPresenting its presenceThis island lifeSeparate my right from my wrongNo I am not paganBut my heart has been forsakenAnd the hand of God was on my mindIt took some time from time to timeNow in the course I knowTime itself will go whenThis island lifeSeparates my right from my wrongYou forgot your shoes and iI have sent a message but iTheres so many stars in the skyIts the truths that will not lieTheres a you wild native maidenRunning mad and barefoot to the sea untilThis island lifeSeparates my rights from my wrongsThis island lifeFinally separates my right from my wrongThis teas too strong for meAs I await more companyI had too much sun todayDram of lands lying far awayPregnant with the presentPresenting its presentsThis island lifeSeparate my right from my wrongThis island lifeWill separate my rights from my songsSeparate my right from my wrongGordon gano: vocal, guitar, violinBrian ritchie: upright bass, electric sitarGuy hoffman: drums, percussionLuisa mann: vocalRecorded and mixed by david vartanian at dvs perversion room, milwuakee, wi gorno music reprinted with permission
