You never ask me the right questions
And love's informers wouldn't give you a hand
We don't see eye-to-eye

Now you know the way to walk on by
Don't let the pirates steal the limelight from your heart on


Desert island discs
All the hits you missed and more on
Desert island discs

You're the miss that I %#@! out on
You're not number one, now it's me
Ooh, yeah


You are someone I am still proud of
But pride looks on to see me

Down on my knees
Far as the eye can see
There's night and day and me

Back inside a door is closing
Just make sure you lock away my


Desert island discs
All the hits you missed and more on
Desert island discs

You're the miss that I %#@! out on
You're not number one, now it's me
Ooh, yeah


You're never gonna know
You couldn't even see

You're in another crowd
And I'm left playin'


With lightning crackling from your fingers
I used to count the broken hearts
That I keep apart from

Other people's castaways
They lost on holidays
Eight days a week's not long enough

To hear my eight records on

Desert island discs

All the hits you missed and more on
Desert island discs
You're the miss that I %#@! out on

You're not number one, now it's me

Ooh

Ooh
Ooh
Desert island discs

Desert island discs
Desert island discs
