  • Only love, only love,
    Will save us now,
    Only love,
    Will talk me down,

    Oh, you're my unlikely hero,
    I try so hard,
    But you won't surrender,
    I, want you to know,

    I like everybody,
    But not everybody like me,
    My love's not an island,
    It's the tip of a volcano,

    I'm alive, I'm alive,
    But only just,
    I'm alive,
    No-one to trust,

    Oh, you're my unlikely hero,
    I try so hard,
    But you won't surrender,
    I, want you to know,

    I like everybody,
    But not everybody likes me,
    My love's not an island,
    It's the tip of a volcano,

    (Oh Gumbaro)
    Everybody talks,
    (Oh Gumbaro)
    No-one hears,
    (Oh Gumbaro)
    Everybody talks,
    (Oh Gumbaro)

    Unlikely hero,
    I try so hard,
    But you won't surrender,
    I, want you to know,

    I like everybody,
    But not everybody likes me,
    My love's not an island,
    It's the tip of a volcano,

    Only love, only love,
    Will save us now,
    Only love,
    Will save us now. Writer/s: ALAN SHARLAND, IRWIN SPARKES, MARTIN SKARENDAHL, SAM SWALLOW, SAM SWALLOWS
