Emily & the Young Ones - Island Life Lyrics

I was born on the riverside
Grew up in a small town
It was a place where I got my pride
Where I'm king without a crown
There's only three roads to go by
And when I'm going home
See all the green passing me by
I never have to be alone
I love living here
No better place for me
Life's relaxed and easy
It makes me feel free
Look up at the clear blue sky
Breathe in the air so clean
Mr. Jones told us no lie
It's good to touch the grass green
Remember all the fun we had
During my childhood I spent there
Wherever I may go this is my end
I don't have to move anywhere
I love living here
No better place for me
Life's relaxed and easy
It makes me feel free
Yeah I love living here
No better place for me
Life's relaxed and easy
It makes me feel free
Now I get older
Have kids of my own
I'd like to show them treasures
That I was once shown
I love living here
No better place for me
Life's relaxed and easy
It makes me feel free
When my kids grow older
I hope this island stays the same
On the other side the world gets colder
But here I hope the peace remains
It's treasure island to me
And so I pass it on
It fells heavenly
Our little island in the sun
I love living here
No better place for me
Life's relaxed and easy
It makes me feel free yeah
I love living here
No better place for me
Life's relaxed and easy
It makes me feel free, feel free
I was born on the river side
