Lyrics Precious Island - The Burning Hell

Precious Island

Some sailors say they sail for several years and seldom see the sand at all
Oh I know that must be kind of dull
The sea’s a salty slippery friend it smells like fish and death and never ends
Oh you know this life is kind of dull
All we do is sail around for miles and miles and
All we want is a bit of dirt and sand
A little precious island
Precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head
And we don’t care if it’s Hamilton or somewhere with better hotels like maybe
Thailand
Everything that’s not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
All we do is sail around for miles and miles and
All we want is a bit of dirt and sand
A little precious island
Precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head
And we don’t care if it’s Oshawa or somewhere with fewer trucks like the
Scottish Highlands
Everything that’s not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
There’s a thousand reasons to hate the water
Unless you are a killer whale, a squid or a sea otter
You need a precious island, precious island
When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head
And we don’t care if it’s Pickering or somewhere where the cows are loud and
the malls are silent
Everything that’s not the sea
Is a little precious island to me
