Well there seems to be a whole lot going on
I'm confident not too much will go wrong yeah
But my preferred state is on the beach yeah
Lying looking back at life and sailing out of reach
Well lying on an island in the sun
Yeah, lying on an island in the sun
So happy in my fool's paradise
Well, I'm confident to sit here and just let life pass me by
The way life is it used to bring me down
Everything I saw when I looked round, yeah yeah
But I've still got so many things to do
Well, I sometimes wish we all could have our cake and eat it too
Well lying on an island in the sun
Yeah, lying on an island in the sun
So happy in my fool's paradise
Well, I'm confident to sit here and just let life pass me by

From Konami's
website. If you guys want, I can translate these notes for many other songs (I am not sure if it would be acceptable to include it in the lyrics thread, please let me know). The Konami GF/DM web site has designer notes for all the songs and I find a lot of them to be really interesting and I think many GF/DM fans would like to know what the designers are talking about as well!

This is an original song written by the veteran vocalist Blad [Brad] Holmes who also sang "USED TO ROCK'NROLL", "PARTY HARD", "SUMMER SUN", "BORN TO BE WILD", "HIGHWAY STAR", [and] "STILL OF THE NIGHT" from the GFdm series.
実は、彼はドラマーでもありギタリストでもあるんです。すごいですね。
この曲を聴くと、どこか南の島でのんびりしたくなります。
癒されるなー。
He is not only a vocalist, but also a drummer and guitarist as well. Very impressive, isn't it? When I hear this song, it makes me want to go to a tropical island and relax. This song is soo relaxing.

Hello this is mito. [this mito guy always begins with this line in all his songs]
I was responsible for transfering the data to arcade platform. [he says this a lot too]
I got this strong impression from this song when I heard it the first time, that it would be quite unforgettable.
I would like to visit this island if it actually exists.
Don't you think so?
Don't you think so?
Well it might be a bit creepy.
