"No one in the world" (The Jam)

Come now - the tea is on the table
Nothing seems to matter anymore
And if you're good we'll go out on Sunday
Spend the whole day thinking of you
Take you sailing across the water
To a faraway place
Remember when life was lovely
Forever was captured in your smile
When we were young and life was hopeful
No one threatened our existence
We were laughing
And they couldn't stop us
No one in the world...
Remember when life was lovely
Forever was captured in your smile
When we were young and life was hopeful
No one threatened our existence
We were laughing
And they couldn't stop us
No one in the world...

("No one in the world": ghost track of "To be someone" in "Fire & Skill" album)

"Science of silence" (Richard Ashcroft, 2002)
And a very sea-island atmosphere song:

"Paradise" (Richard Ashcroft, 2002)
You're..just like I was
So full of love, so full of love
I feel you're taking me back
To all those feelings of yesterday
Dark and dusty tracks
How long can I stay here?
How long can I pray here?
You know we meet in another space
You turn around and I see your face
Oh what a fruit, what a tree you shall be
You'll be fed by the mountains, fed by the streams
(Set a sail) Set a sail for paradise (We'll leave in the morning)
(Set a sail) Set a sail to paradise (We'll leave in the morning)
I know when I'm losing control
I play I am the cosmos
And let the feelings roll
[...] You'll be fed by the mountains, the crystal streams
Then we go for a walk
We hold hands and start to talk
Oh what a fruit, what a tree this love will be
You'll be fed by the mountains, fed by me...
Set a sail for paradise (Leave in the morning)
We can leave in the morning...


"On a beach" (Richard Ashcroft, 2000)

I have swum those raging seas
Washed up by an ocean who had tired of me
How I survive, I will never know
This wreck's got a home and a whole lot of hope
I'm out on a beach, sat on a rock,
Thinking of you and the love I've got
I saw the devil's servant. I sent her home
I said, "Bring me your master. I don't want his dog"
I'm on fire...
I'm full of love and new desire...
I lit my fire; blew my conch. Nobody comes
I built my boat from bamboo, but it sunk

I looked at the sky for vapour trails. Nobody comes
I wrote your name on a tree
along with the days this has taken you away from me
I'm out on a beach, eating my heart,
Thinking of you and the love I got...
I need somebody like you, a warm body
I ain't afraid to die
There you go, ain't afraid to die
I'm out on a beach, eating my heart,
Thinking of you and the love I got
I saw the devil's serpent. I sent him home...
I need somebody like you...

Since Minorca's also called "the wind island", (wind)surfing is one of the main free-time activities.


"Surfer girl" (The Beach Boys, click here to see a live video)


Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl
I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl surfer girl
We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my Woody I would take you everywhere I go
So I say from me to you
I will make your dreams come true
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well - Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl...
