Boomtown Rats Living in an Island Lyrics:
Night fell fast, like it did in the past when the phone rang
Twice and a voice said &quotI think I'm alone&quot
I gave my advice and the voice said &quotNice, but suicide
leaves such a bad
aftertaste on the soul.&quot

Chorus:
Oh ain'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,

Side by side they waled into the tide, till
it rose to their nose and then
They kissed with their eyes &quotgoodbye.&quot
They were seen to smile just before they

Except a certain desperate sense of style...
But ain't you glad etc.

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 &quotno&quot
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 mac at the back of the shack,
lay her head on the track
And said &quotI think it's better this way.&quot
Oh she was glad that she lived on an island etc.
