Island of Lost Souls Lyrics
In Babylon on the boulevard of broken dreams my will power at the lowest ebb
Oh what can I do?
Oh buccaneer!
Can ya help me put my truck in gear?
Can ya take me far away from here save my soul from sin?
"You wanna get away?
You've had it man?
Nothing's going right so come sit on the sands of the island!
Island of lost souls
No luxuries No, no!
Amenities Too dull your senses Oh oh!
Only primitive! Hey, hey "really get away!" is what he said
Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me!
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
"The sky is blue the sea is warm and clear and golden sands
Are calling out to you Inviting Make a new man outta you
You can come for a while come with a friend forget about work start all over again
Let the real you through Here's what we do
Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me!
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run, run away from me?
Oh-oh, oh-oh!

Boulevard of boken dreams is a Green Day song now.
Does it have anything to do with this song? Please tell me ron im intrigued!!
I heard this song has to do with the island of pagans in the 1973 movie "The Wicker Man". In the movie a police officer from the governing mainland of the island comes to investigate the disaprearance of a young girl only to find out she was alive and was going to be used as a sacrifice to the gods of nature. The man thinks he saves her but in the end she leads him right to her 'captures' who then tell the man he was the sacrifice all along and proceed to burn him alive inside a giant wickerman. The movie culminates with the hethens singing their songs of worship with the lead man screaming Jesus' name with his dying breath. Pretty screwed up, but a great movie.
...I almost forgot, the video for the song features masks worn by the pagans in the movie for their May Day festivities.
I was able to watch the remake which stars Nicolas Cage:D
Lost souls are those who die without Christ as their saviour. The Island of lost souls can only mean one place, hell...a place you never want to be.
