Low Island

The Lines

First come, first served I got here first
Red in tooth and claw
Read the sign and keep your distance
Keep away from me I'm not on your side

I can't recognise a scrap of myself in you
And I can't get over it
I can't get my head around it

"If there is something wrong I can look after you"
These aren't the lines on which we think
"How are you getting on? I can look out for you"

You were built to break
It's not my problem
It's a natural law
It's so natural and all your weakness
Puts me on edge
I've got my eye on you

I refuse you the peace and quiet that you seek
I'm not your ally I am an island
