lyrics

Island of mercy, harbour for hearts
With no obligation, to relive the past
All is forgotten, the slate painted clean
Everything, shining and green
Island of mercy, sub tropical spot
Each day a blue day never too hot
A place to lie down and let the trouble subside

Oh, oh, haul us all in – oh, oh, haul us all in
Oh, oh, oh

Island of mercy, house of no dream
No big aspiration nothing obscene
Everyone welcome except the extreme

Oh, oh, haul us all in – oh, oh, haul us all in
Oh, oh, haul us all in – oh, oh, haul us all in
Oh, oh, oh
