With the sad news that The Dreadnoughts are on an indefinite hiatus, and autumn approaching with cider on the minds, it's time to once more return...to Turbo Island with the Dreadnoughts...
Turbo Island is from their 2010 album, Polka's Not Dead. Check out the band at: http://www.myspace.com/vancitydreadnoughts
Lyrics:
Twere back in the year of 1986
I courted a maid from the wild wild west
She took I to a place
Where cider's always ace
Return to Turbo Island
(Woooaaahh)
We'll raise our mid sail
(Woooaaahh)
And we'll battle the gale
(Woooaaahh)
We're all going to hell
As we return to Turbo Island
Our ship 'o should be
A' rockin' on the sea
Our boatsmen be a' prayin' to the lord
My buddy makes a plea
"Oh, won't you marry me?"
As we return to Turbo Island
(Woooaaahh)
We'll raise our mid sail
(Woooaaahh)
And we'll battle the gale
(Woooaaahh)
Said we're all going to hell
As we return to Turbo Island
You won't find Turbo Island
On any sort of a map
They said if you left that place,
There's no way to go back
We searched for Stoke Croft's Point
And off the old bear pit?
And now that we've found the place,
We'll drink like lunatics
(Woooaaahh)
Said we'll raise our mid sail
(Woooaaahh)
And we'll battle the gale
(Woooaaahh)
Said we're all going to hell
As we return to Turbo Island
(x3)
As we return to Turbo Island
As we return to Turbo Island
Also, the Surfin' Turnips version of Turbo Island which preceded The Dreadnoughts is also pretty nifty.
