Backed by the storming rhythm section of Nick Beggs on bass and Craig Blundell on drums, the album also sees guest appearances from Peter Cox (Go West), Nik Kershaw, Steve Hogarth (Marillion), Heather Findlay, Kim Seviour (Touchstone), Jem Godfrey (Frost*) as well as narration provided by British actor Lee Ingleby (Master & Commander, Harry Potter).
"Please Come Home" is very proggy, but it’s more about atmosphere than technical expertise, inspired by his love of science fiction and interest in the evolution of the human race.

The Island Of Misfit Toys
Lonely Robot Lyrics
Island of misfit toys
Here he comes, walking down the beach
He's missing buttons
And the battery's gone in his speech
He might not look much
But don't be deceived
Come the apocalypse
Well all the bad toys he'll impeach
On the island of misfit toys
We've been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don't fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
Island of misfit toys
Here she comes, hopping down a hill
Her dress is threadbare
And her hair is overkill
She might not look much
That don't mean a thing
But come the end of days
Well that canary's gonna sing
On the island of misfit toys
We've been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don't fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
We'll build an army
We'll make such sound
And all the privileged elitists
Will be taken to account
We'll find the oddballs
Strange girls and boys
There's no perfection
On the island of misfit toys
On the island of misfit toys
We've been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don't fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
Island of misfit toys
Here he comes, walking down the beach
He's missing buttons
And the battery's gone in his speech
He might not look much
But don't be deceived
Come the apocalypse
Well all the bad toys he'll impeach
On the island of misfit toys
We've been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don't fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
Island of misfit toys
Here she comes, hopping down a hill
Her dress is threadbare
And her hair is overkill
She might not look much
That don't mean a thing
But come the end of days
Well that canary's gonna sing
On the island of misfit toys
We've been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don't fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
We'll build an army
And all the privileged elitists
Will be taken to account
We'll find the oddballs
Strange girls and boys
There's no perfection
On the island of misfit toys
On the island of misfit toys
We've been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don't fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
Island of misfit toys

Island
Of
Misfit
Toys
Here he comes
Walking down the beach
He’s missing buttons
And the battery’s gone in his speech
He might not look much
But don’t be deceived
Come the apocalypse
Well all the bad toys he’ll impeach
(Chorus)
On the island of misfit toys
We’ve been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don’t fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
Island
Of
Misfit
Toys
Here she comes
Hopping down a hill
Her dress is threadbare
And her hair is overkill
She might not look much
That don’t mean a thing
But come the end of days
That canary’s gonna sing
On the island of misfit toys
We’ve been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don’t fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
We’ll build an army
We’ll make such sound
And all the privileged elitists will be taken to account
We’ll find the oddballs
Strange girls and boys
There’s no perfection
On the island of misfit toys
On the island of misfit toys
We’ve been neglected and abandoned here
Far from all the noise
They told us we just don’t fit rules
We have each other here, the best of places
In a world of fools
@jenndavin
His guitar tone is a great blend of 70s and 80s in the solos. Lonely Robot albums are all full of great sounds. Love 'em.
@robbaker8169
Heard this for the first time this morning and have not stopped listening. I love the “we have each other “lyric.
@warpgate_x
Lonely Robot has some of the most amazing melodic solos out there
@gringochucha
John is an amazing guitarist. His solos during Arena's golden period (The Visitor to Contagion) are some of the best you'll ever hear.
@Takealookatmychannelhere
Im recommendin you guys band Treat and their latest album Endgame, it is very melodic rock rooted in 80's. Awesome album:)
@elihrairah
I know it's a different project but I'm getting a wonderful Kino feel from this song
@boohiccup
Why have I only just discovered this video to the song? Top stuff! Also, here's hoping there's another album on its way soon ;-)
@darkozric79
Is this the sequel to Island Life? Nice track John :D

I love that all of England has seemingly embraced the influence of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. Class video, Mr. Mitchell. Can't wait for the album.
