Lyrics

She looked up, she saw him
'Twas understood
And then he felt the warm blood
He thought it so good
To be here on the southern coast
Of a Tawny stare
Living in the heat
Of a longing glare
That's when you get sunburned
In the land of the suntan eyes
That's when, that's when you get sunburned
They wandered off to the English pub
Sombrero Irish, their travel club
She said that someday I'll travel too
I'm coming here to practice on your native tongue
He said, "Céad míle fáilte, that's another one"
That's when you get sunburned
In the land of the suntan eyes
That's when, that's when you get sunburned
Tonight he's not dreaming of the hills of Donegal
From his balcony their laughter is descending
On the curbs of the seafront
Where the lonely eyes scrawl
In search of the blonde and the blue
Please help me, Tawny
You know it's true
The crazy pleasure I'll give to you
I have to get out of this country soon
But her face it fell
When she heard him say
Tomorrow as the man says is another day
He woke up sweating
But she had gone
It's just as well, I'm moving on
His face it twisted into a rage
Gone was his clothes
His cash and his shoes
All that she left was his tape of U2
That's when you get sunburned
In the land of the suntan eyes
That's when, that's when you get sunburned
Tonight he's not dreaming of his kosher-Dassie girl
He's flying home across the Aegean ocean
By his side a drunk Sombrero
Embalming him a verse
On the pleasures of the duty-free
