The Divine Comedy - Like Robinson Crusoe lyrics

Since I could read i've longed to be
Like Robinson Crusoe making my home
All on my own like Robinson Crusoe

A castaway washed up one day
Upon a strange and far away
Deserted island

I’ll tame a bird and teach it words
Like Robinson Crusoe i'll have to sleep
Up in a tree like Robinson Crusoe

This is my own pacific isle
No one around for miles and miles
It's rather frightening

One little wave follows another
One tiny bird dives for it's supper
One buzzing bee flies through the heather
One perfect day to last forever

No to take care of you
In Robinson Crusoe and Rodger, he
Does not need me in Robinson Crusoe

When there are five and you are third
You have to shout just to be heard
I’m tired of shouting

One sandy beach to softly tread on
One grassy bank to rest my head on
One little cloud to keep my eyes on
One tiny ship on the horizon

Don't rescue me i want to be
Like Robinson Crusoe at least not yet
I've yet to get like Robinson Crusoe

When I've a beard and gone quite mad
Then you can come and take me back
Back home to mother my lovely mother
