The Island Grows On You
Composed for forty-two piece STAB 1) 2) choir (with one to four soloists) and rip-roaring3) brass band by Mr Infrablack
Oh, when I first came here
Wet behind the ears
I was totally perplexed
Things that shouldn't be
Kept trying to kill me
As I was crying out “What next?!”
Now I've been here a while
Adapted to this style
And had a bit of fun or two
And at the end of the day
I can honestly say
That this island grows on you
Spoken Solo: Like a wart
Oh, the island grows on you
And there's nothing you can do
Comfortable feelings spreading like a fungus
Yes, the island grows on you
It absolutely is quite true
Just ask any contestant among us
You'll get just one answer and you'll get it quite clear
They say “I wanna go home but I rather like it here”
I wanna go home but I rather like it here
Now that I have grown stronger
I can fight on longer
Without worrying how to stay alive
Got a mount and a tattoo
And there's so much I could do
Maybe someday I'll even kill the Drive
No matter where I roam
There's times I long for home
I'm willing to admit that cuz it's true
But never mind anyway
Cuz what I'm trying to say
Is that Improbable Island grows on you
Spoken Solo: Like a rash
Oh, the island grows on you
And there's nothing you can do
Comfortable feelings spreading like a fungus
Yes, the island grows on you
It absolutely is quite true
Just ask any contestant among us
You'll get just one answer and you'll get it quite clear
They say “I wanna go home but I rather like it here”
I wanna go home but I rather like it here
Spoken Solo: Key change now, and put some OOMPH in it!
Oh, the island grows on you
And there's nothing you can do
Comfortable feelings spreading like a fungus
Yes, the island grows on you
It absolutely is quite true
Just ask any contestant among us
You'll get just one answer and you'll get it quite clear
They say “I wanna go home but I rather like it here”
I wanna GO home but I RAther LIKE it HEEEEERE!
Spoken Solo: It's like a mold
