Canvey Island Lyrics

H5N1 killed a wild swan
It was a kind of omen
Of everything to comeI can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehowOn Canvey Island, 1953
Many lives were lost
With the records of a football teamI can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening
It's coming true somehowDon't you think it's strange
You know the way it all works out
Brace yourself for storms and summer droughtsSometimes it's hard to tell
If it's going well
You know the odds against it
Were so phenomenalI can't believe it's happening
And that it's happening now
I can't believe it's happening

It's coming true somehowDon't you think it's strange
You know the way it all works out
Brace yourself for storms and summer droughtsDon't you think it's strange
You know the way it all works out
You start with everything then live withoutOh, it's happening now
Oh, it's happening now
