This Demi-Paradise

Sign of the times
Show some respect and open up a door
We cast away
We swim the tide but we're pushed back to shore
There's nothing left
It's cold and wet but this island's all mine
 
This demi, this demi paradise
This demi, this demi paradise, yeah
 
It's got faults but it's not dull
It gets caught deep in your soul
 
Five years from now
I'll tell you things and you'll say 'Holy cow'
Just mark my words
I'll mark your card with songs of Jerusalem
Migrating west
Home sweet home embroidered on your chest
 
This demi, this demi paradise
This demi, this demi paradise, yeah
 
It's got faults but it's not dull
It gets caught deep in your soul
 
Go run and hide
I close my eyes
I count to five
1 2 3 4 5
It's hard to see
When you rule the sea
And I count to ten
6 7 8 9 10
Ten
 
Jewel in the shit
Where north is hard and southern folks are full of it
You go and pack
I think I'll stay and raise the Union Jack
 
This demi, this demi paradise
This demi, this demi paradise, yeah
 
It's got faults but it's not dull
It gets caught deep in your soul
 
It's got faults but it's not dull
It gets caught deep in your soul, yeah
