I have never left this island



I've never left this island
In the far off caribbean
But i'm going to the highland
Just to meet a north korean


I don't know why im leaving
And i'm not sure i'm believing
That his mothers european
But he said he’s north korean


I'm leaving right tomorrow
And I'm meeting him in carlow
But i'll never tell him what to say
And i'll be back on saturday


He has canceled going to carlow
So were going to meet in glasgow
But before i am going to do a tour
And maybe see a wild boar


I am going to take the plane
And i am flying in to spain
And then i am going to take the train
across to north ukraine


Then i am going to take a break
Maybe camp beside a lake
Then i’ll go back up to latvia
And stay a night in riga
I hope the war has finally stopped


I didn't know there was a war
And now i'm stuck with all the poor
I hope i can get out of kiev
And spend all my bulgarian lev
