- Ellan Vannin LyricsWe fire up the boiler (?), I'll be dreaming for days
On the smoke from Bally Sanna through that shimmering
haze.
And we mend our way down the road to the sea
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.
You in the sunlight on the Castletown Hill
Like she's waiting for angels to come down and help.
I said help put a frame around this firmament scene
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.
Chorus:
I said I'd go there a while, go there a while
I must travel in dreams.
One moment to stand, one moment to stand
There on Ellan Vannin,
With the prettiest lady, the prettiest lady
That I, that I, that I've ever seen.
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.
Well I can see us right now, my love, far ahead of our
time
You quilting blankets and me I'm making rhyme, making
rhyme, making rhyme.
Oh we ran with our blankets at where we always, always
have been,
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.
Chorus
On the smoke from Bally Sanna through that shimmering
haze.
And we mend our way down the road to the sea
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.
You in the sunlight on the Castletown Hill
Like she's waiting for angels to come down and help.
I said help put a frame around this firmament scene
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.
Chorus:
I said I'd go there a while, go there a while
I must travel in dreams.
There on Ellan Vannin,
With the prettiest lady, the prettiest lady
That I, that I, that I've ever seen.
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.
Well I can see us right now, my love, far ahead of our
time
You quilting blankets and me I'm making rhyme, making
rhyme, making rhyme.
Oh we ran with our blankets at where we always, always
have been,
Looking west from Port Arran upon Ellan Vannin.
Chorus

Official lyrics by
This song is about the Isle of Man (sort of). "Ellan Vannin" means "Isle of Man" in the Manx language. I'd question whether the Rev. has ever been.
The reference to a boiler is likely a reference to a steam engine boiler: there is a steam train which runs through Ballasalla (not Bally Sanna) and Castletown to Port Erin (not Port Arran). The reference to Castletown Hill is probably to Castletown kelp (which makes sense of the rhyme in the next line). Castletown has a harbour and beaches, so there is plenty of seaweed around.
If you look west from Port Erin, you'll be looking out to sea: towards Northern Ireland in fact.
Finally, the last syllable of Ellan Vannin rhymes with tin, not seen.
