Canvey Island

Killed a wild swan It was a kind of omen Of everything to come I can't believe it's happening And that it's happening now I can't believe it's happening It's coming true somehow [Chorus:] On Canvey Island, 1953 Many lives were lost With the records of a football team I can't believe it's happening And that it's happening now I can't believe it's happening It's coming true somehow Don't you think it's strange, you know The way it all works out Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts, so Sometimes it's hard to tell If it's going well You know the odds against it Were so phenomenal I can't believe it's happening And that it's happening now I can't believe it's happening It's coming true somehow [Chorus] Don't you think it's strange, you know The way it all works out Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts Don't you think it's strange, you know The way it all works out You start with everything then end without Oh! Oh, oh! Oh Oh it's happening now Oh it's happening now Oh --- Canvey Island - Sea Power
