There's an island
that is home, for myself and family
Canvey Island is my
home, but it's a dangerous place to be
Don't go smoking in
the road, for the gas works might explode
And our home will
disappear beneath the sea
Canvey Island, where
the fuel tanks glisten in the sun
Canvey Island,
there's lots and lots of gas for everyone
If you wanna buy a
house, they're not very hard to find
But insurance is so
high, that you're gonna blow your mind
Oh please don't blow
up our island
Oh please don't blow
up our home
We don't wanna sink
in the river
Or be covered over by
the foam
Canvey Island is a
bomb, that might explode at any time
But life goes on from
day to day and no one seems to mind
If we don't speak out
today, our last chance may fade away
And we'll end up with
no home of any kind
Canvey Island, where
the fuel tanks glisten in the sun
Canvey Island,
there's lots and lots of gas for everyone
If you wanna buy a
house, they're not very hard to find
But insurance is so
high, that you're gonna blow your mind
Oh please don't blow
up our island
Oh please don't blow
up our home
We don't wanna sink
in the river
Or be covered over by
the foam
