Walking In The Rain - Island Life

Walking down the street, Kicking cans, Looking at the billboards, (?) Summing up the people, Checking out the race, Doing what i’m doing, Feeling out of place, Walking, walking, In the rain. Feeling like a woman, Looking like a man, Sounding like a no-no, Mating when i can, Whistling in the darkness, Shining in the […]

Slave To The Rhythm - Island Life

Work all day, as men who know, Wheels must turn to keep, to keep the flow, Build on up, don’t break the chain, Sparks will fly, when the whistle blows, Never stop the action, Keep it up, keep it up, Work to the rhythm, Live to the rhythm, Love to the rhythm, Slave to the […]

Pull Up To The Bumper - Island Life

Driving down those city streets, Waiting to get down, Won’t you get your big machine, Somewhere in this town? Now in the parking lot garage, You’ll find the proper place, Just follow all the written rules, You’ll fit into the space. Pull up to my bumper baby, In your long black limosine, Pull up to […]

Private Life - Island Life

J’ai les glands with your theatrics, Your acting’s a drag, It’s ok on tv, but you can turn it off, Your marriage is a tragedy, But it’s not my concern, I’m very superficial i hate everything official, Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death, You’ve made […]

Love Is The Drug - Island Life

T´ain´t no big thing, To wait for the bell to ring, T´ain´t no big thing, The toll of the bell, Aggravated – spare for days, Stroll downtown the red light place, Jump up bubble up – what´s in store, Love is the drug and i need to score, Showing out, showing out, hit and run, […]

La Vie En Rose - Island Life

Des yeuz qui font baisser les miens Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche Voila le portrait sans retouche De l’homme auguel j’appartiens Quand il me prend dans ses bras, Il me parle tout bas Je vois la vie en rose Il me dit des mots d’amour Das mots de tous les jours, Et […]

I’ve Seen That Face Before / Libertango - Island Life

strange, i’ve seen that face before, Seen him hanging ’round my door, Like a hawk stealing for the pray, Like the night waiting for the day, Strange, he shadows me back home, Footsteps echo on the stones, Rainy nights, an hustling boulevard, Parisian music, drifting from the bars, Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort, Tu […]

I Need A Man - Island Life

When i’m feelin’ lonely, Someone telephone me, It’s gettin’ hard to pass my time. Take me out’a dieing, Watch me while i’m flyin’, Baby, it’s a waste of time. I need a man, perhaps a man like you, I need a man, to make my dreams come true. Say that you will find him, Creeping […]

Do Or Die - Island Life

I’ve been called an operator, I can sell an eskimo snow, Baby, your’e a calculator, But all you ever tell me is no. You make me run,run,run, say your havi’n none, You make me run,run,run, chase me with a gun. I’ll never give up! I’ve got to do or die, I’m reach’in for the sky, […]
