lyrics

I got a new tattoo, it's still bleeding, doesn't hurt as much as leaving you. The sand the sea the soul renewed. I got a new tattoo.

I wanna hang near Wilikies. See the trade winds push around the palm trees. Watch a pelican diving 'till the sun goes down. We were on the rocks for too long. Fell asleep to the singing of a tree frog. On Devils bridge where the ghosts they swirl around. A year's too long and this plane is flying way too slow. You get there then you gotta turn around and go.

Hurts like a new tattoo that's still bleeding. Doesn't hurt as much as leaving you. The sand, the sea, the soul renewed. Feel black and blue, barely breathing when I see you fading out of view. Your colours are so true. Like a new tattoo.

I'm gonna cruise on a catamaran there's smoke from the volcano on Montserrat. Another captain's special sir if you please. Enough rum in this drink to kill a tropical disease. Excellence faster than a Barracuda 26 miles to Codrington Barbuda. Island music blaring on the stereo. Frigate bird shadow on the beach below.

I don't think it's hard too see. No place on earth I'd rather be.

The flag is black for the people. Red for their blood. The seven parishes get the seven rays of the sun. Blue for the water. White for the sand. A symbol of pride and the resilience of man.
