Mike Lindup - You Can't Just Live as an Island
Hey you by the wall, up there in the VIP You’re a picture to see
In view of us all, down here where the action is
You can’t beat it
I’m loving your look of studied indifference
But it ain’t fooling me
Come down from your tower
and get what you’re missing
Because it’s plain to see
You can’t just live as an island
We all need company
To bring out all of the joy in our lives
It’s clear to me
It ain’t no fun in a party of one
And I will make you see
You’ll be better off with me
You lookin’ at me
You like what you’re seein’
It’s plain to see
Come tell it to me
Don’t say I’m mistaken
You can’t fake it
Don’t stand by the wall
Waiting for the DJ
To play your favourite tune
Join me on the floor, and I will enthral you
Because it’s plain to see
You can’t just live as an island
We all need company
To bring out all of the joy in our lives
It’s clear to me
It ain’t no fun in a party of one
And I will make you see
You’ll be better off with me
Don’t hide your light
Shine brightly whatever the weather
Don’t hide your light
The world needs everyone to get together Don’t hide your light
Shine brightly whatever the weather
Don’t hide your light
Because it’s plain to see
You can’t just live as an island
We all need company
To bring out all of the joy in our lives
It’s clear to me
It ain’t no fun in a party of one
And I will make you see
You’ll be better off with me
Because it’s plain to see
You can’t just live as an island
We all need company
To bring out all of the joy in our lives
It’s clear to me
It ain’t no fun in a party of one
And I will make you see
You’ll be better off with me
So here is my truth
So what of our differences
Play the singleton blues or take a bigger chance
Relinquish the role
Of studied indifference
Get down on the floor
it will amaze you
