about

When your big brother hands you a bottle, do you wipe the neck before drinking?
You don't. You may want to, but you don't.

lyrics

The Islander

He taught you everything you know
Shown you everything you seen
Folks round here call him The Islander
A better bro could never be
And if you wanna be his boy
You don't wipe the bottle down

Seems like a million years ago
You stood on the dock and waved
The Islander is a Superman
Millions of folks waiting to be saved
You feel the blood come rushing to your cheeks

Come meet me outside
Let's light the harbor lights
Dance until our feet forget the cold
The wind is right
The Islander is coming home

His pockets full of sand
A coat of tan and grey
He sure got big where they sent him
He coulda used a shave
And if you wanna be his boy
You don't cry when he's around
If you wanna be a boy
You'll help put him in the ground
And if you wanna be a boy...
... you don't wipe ...the ...bottle ...down

Come meet me outside
