amanda palmer - little island كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
jamie says the kiwis loved americans
the moonshot, jfk, and lucky strikes
now there’s just this pity and embarrassment
the proud boys, covid deaths, and oscar night

[verse 2]
jamie says the old days here were simpler
no television, coffee, and no phones
and even people third, fourth generation
when they were talking about england they’d say “home”

[chorus 1]
oh, i owe you, little island
little island, bigger than my mind
some of us are proud of what we brought here
and some of us are proud of what we left behind

[verse 3]
jamie took me to the family graveyard
up near where he grew up on the farm
his little sister died when he was six years old
she was buried there between his dad and mom

[verse 4]
jamie went to gaze into the sunset
and i wandered around wondering what to do
that’s when i saw the headstone with the swastika
this mongrel mob guy next to a guy from world war two
[chorus 2]
oh, i owe you, little island
little island, bigger than the sun
some of us are proud of what we fought for
and some of us are proud of how fast we could run

[bridge]
and there’s a cloud of doubt
hanging over the hangman’s back
and there’s a long white cloud
hanging over the union jack

[verse 5]
jamie says that people always leave here
because europe and australia have work
jamie says he’s never left the country
but he swears he’ll come and see me in new york

[chorus 3]
oh, i owe you, little island
little island, bigger than the sun
some of us are proud of what we fought for
and some of us are proud of how fast we could run

[chorus 4]
oh, i love you, little island
little island, bigger than the whole uk
some of us are proud of what we came from
some of us have got to settle being proud
that we got away
