lyrics

Uncanny Island, flickering asylum,
strange to me, and ordinary.
Girt by the ocean, property of ghosts -
from dreams of violence,
wakening to silence.

They are born to rule you, like base desires school you.

Indian miner wants to get to China
(through a wide and open,
wide and open wound).

I don’t recognise you,
though you comport almost the same,
there’s something crook in how you
fix me with your smile,
just a little bit insane.

What’s the point of having all this hand
if you cannot wield the blade?
History is made by those who understand,
if you don’t slash and burn you fade.

Uncanny Island, Uncanny Island.

I don’t recognise the sound anymore,
though you call the same old game,
there’s something rubbish in the sound of your voice,
something rabid, something lame.

What’s the point of all this pliant earth
if one cannot make it pay?
From the valley of the Tarkine
to the basin of Galilee.

They are born to rule you, like base desires school you,
And so perverse continue down that shaft
to find your uncanny self.

Uncanny Island, Uncanny Island.
