歌词
(chorus)
Well I've just got back from the Portland shore,
Where the weather is rare and the people more.
But I take my chance on working abroad.
On the strange and lonely Island.
(verse 1)
So I answered an ad about working with stone,
within a couple of weeks they called me on the phone
They said come work with us and we'll give you a home,
On a strange and lonely Island
(chorus)
Well I've just got back from the Portland shore,
Where the weather is rare and the people more.
But I take my chance on working abroad.
On the strange and lonely Island.
(instrumental break)
So I worked really hard while breathing Portland air,
Cutting Portland stone with hardly a care
The boss told me , that I belonged there,
On a strange and lonely Island.
(chorus)
Well I've just got back from the Portland shore,
Where the weather is rare and the people more.
But I take my chance on working abroad.
On the strange and lonely Island.
(bridge)
So I married a girl , that's how my story goes,
my child was born with a mouth, a heart, two ears and a nose,
But I wasn't expecting the feet with six toes,
On a strange and lonely island.
(chorus)
Well I've just got back from the Portland shore,
Where the weather is rare and the people more.
But I take my chance on working abroad.
On the strange and lonely Island.
On a strange and lonely Island
(finish)
(chorus)
Well I've just got back from the Portland shore,
Where the weather is rare and the people more.
But I take my chance on working abroad.
On the strange and lonely Island.

Well I've just got back from the Portland shore,
Where the weather is rare and the people more.
But I take my chance on working abroad.
On the strange and lonely Island.

On the strange and lonely Island.
