Island
 
I'm not your jolly sort of man
Don't like to be nice to people I can't stand
But like this wine I mellow some with age
And now and then they get me out of the cage
 
(Chorus):
No man's an island yes it's true
But I am an island without you
A sailor seeks dry land now and then
This may sound silly love, but you are my closest friend
 
I'm anti-social as a rule
I'm not one for weddings but I'm good for a funeral
But I have learned how not to judge a book
'Cause sometimes people, they're just not the way they look
 
(Chorus)
 
Only you and you only
Could make me feel this lonely
Only you and you alone
Can make this house into a home sweet home
 
My friends all know how we're apart
So they ask me over, well bless their hearts
And I am thankful for the company
But these happy couples they just put me out to sea
 
(Chorus)
