My Sunny Island Lyrics
A brown-skin girl wipes the suit from her window
Just to watch the sun
rise over big city skies
Her falther awakes "Cuffs" lights his first
cigarette
You know he's got to go when that factory whistle blows
So he walks out into the streets
And all of his friends that he
meets
Wonder why did they ever leave their sunny island
The
wind blows cold with it brings the snows
You live in hand to mouth next
winter you move South
If your number falls or if you work those extra
hours
But you only live in a dream
That carries you back on its
wings
And all your friends just sit around the bar
And sing about
your sunny island
And there ain't no surf
It's the sidewalks
on 42nd street
And the natives down there
They ain't so friendly
In fact they would stick you
For the shoes on your feet
Just
make you want to retreat
To your sunny island
The traffic
eats the streets you're running from the heat
That keeps coming down
pushing you into the ground
You're learning far too late your children
learn to hate
The way you live but you got nomore to give
And in
dockland they still arrive
With promised land in their eyes
And you
just wish you could live out your life
On your sunny island
And there ain't no surf
It's the sidewalks on 42nd street
And
the natives down there
They ain't so friendly
In fact they would
stick you
For the shoes on your feet
Just make you want to
retreat
To your sunny island
