Lyrics
Oh, Bring Back The Egg Unbroken
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just one island, and an ugly string
Of prehistoric penal colonies
This island is the most remote inhabited spot on Earth
Each family possesses a registered trademark
Which is chipped into the trunk of a tree
Oh, bring back the egg unbroken
The egg of the sooty nesting turn
And you will be made king of this island now
The women have gone on up the cliff side
They're gathering eggs of their own
We'll have them at the celebration
When the king is chosen now
Jump the cliff into the ocean
You grab an egg
You swim back
Holding it aloft
You hold it high above the shark infested waters now
Oh my love
You bring the egg unbroken back, you are the king
You are the king
Oh bring the egg unbroken back, you are the king
Oh we'll be thinking of the ocean
When the king brings back unbroken the egg
Of the sooty nesting turn
Some well-known, lost, but ancient wisdom
The point and purpose
Which was mysterious
Or Even vague
It says the truth is worse than you can possibly
Imagine
And we islanders will be thinking of escape
We'll be thinking, we'll be thinking, we'll be thinking
Of escape!
We'll be thinking, we'll be thinking, we'll be thinking
Of escape!
