Evil Island Home Lyrics - Kevin Coyne

See the sand and the white birds swooping low 

I see the sea and the dead fish floating by 

I see the grass as it's growing up my door 

And hear my dog as he's crying for his bone 

This is my home, my evil island home 

This is my home, my evil island home 

See the stoat and the sharp-billed razorbill 

You know they're pecking away 

At my crumbling window sills 

And the ice on the mountain range below 

Is starting to melt 

And we'll soon be washed with snow 

This is my home, my evil island home 

Oh, this is my home, my evil island home 

I want to fly but they've taken my wings away 

I want to run but I know I have to stay 

I may coax the beast that wanders on the shore 

To lend me his back, so I can ride away once more 

This is my home, my evil island home 

Oh, this is my home, my evil island home
