Cast away on a desert island 
Me and poor Crusoe are sharing the same fate 
Cast away on a desert island 
With Great Britain written on its name plate 

With my umbrella I go walking 
Through all the sands on a building site 
Across the shopping malls and motorways 
Birds from Heathrow fill the 
Night with people flying to escape 
Friday comforts me and says it's pay day 

Cast away on a desert island... 

The game and coconuts is plentiful 
You pick 'em right off of a supermarket shelf 
And all the man-eaters are parked away 
Down in garages 
While their selfish owners drinking to escape 
Lord of flies with cocktails in his conch shell 

Don't rescue me, no 
This is my home sweet home dear 
Don't rescue me, no 
I am far from alone here 

Cast away on a desert island 
Me and one nation are sharing the same fate 
Cast away on a desert island 
With Great Britain written on its name plate 
Cast away on a desert island
