[Intro]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la

[Verse 1]
I got on a boat on a hot sunny day
To get out of this town
'Cause the tarmac was melting and the people seem to sway
Stuck in the underground

[Chorus 1]
To the islands, the black kites, the wishing tree
I wanna be with you
On a slow boat to Lantau, the misty seas
I wanna be with you

[Verse 2]
I crawled out the harbour with recession behind
And now I'm feeling the love of you
So you better get a charge 'til I see you again
You'll know just what to do

[Chorus 2]
If you're caught up in the gales on the junk boat seas
I wanna be with you
With the pilgrims, the mountain, the High Trappist
I wanna be with you
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3]
If you're the landlord, the social on BST
I wanna be with you
On an island with red kites and verdant seas
I will be there with you, oh
