Tanned Lyrics by Arab Strap

Elephant Shoe

1999

The greek sun made you lovely but attacked me with it's rays
I fell asleep and burned so badly
I could barely move for the first few days
The girls in front all lay topless
- I did my best not to look
But you could see right through my glasses as

I pretended to read my book
We went for dinner then tried the cocktails
And drank our way through the list
For the first time in ages we just sat
And chatted then staggered home happy, tanned and pissed
