Fiji Bitter Songtext
von Marc Hunter

Front gunner in a Catalina
A black haired island girl
Wartime feeling, cheek to cheeking
A light in a darkened world
Life was sweet in the South Pacific
Sometime 1940
Silk stockings and a powdered stall
The big band played Cole Porter

Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh, I know
Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh
Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


A long time later, the Golden Dragon
In ′72 or '3
Drinking Kava, in love with Miku
Jesus, what a memory
Late night on the beach
The frangipani bloom
U.S. fleet beyond the reef
The girls run from the room

Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh, I know
Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh
Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And it′s still deep inside of me
The feeling from the past won't set me free
Never really lets you go
Once the spell is cast
The same old waves break endlessly
What was once can never ever be
Never be the same again
Just a Fiji memory

So Fiji bitter, here I am
Ready to go anywhere
Oh, if you don't help me now
My heart will burst, I swear


Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh, I know
Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh
Fiji bitter, makes me shiver
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
