Well you think you had a good time
With the boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet
But if you look around and see
A shadow on the run
Don't be too surprised if its just a paper sun
Fahrende Musikanten lyrics

Wir haben beide lang allein getingelt
Hejo hejo ho
Und oftmals hat die Kasse nicht geklingelt
Hej
Ahh Paper Sun, Ahh Paper Sun

In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes all thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills 
Your meter's all run out
But then again its nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips to nowhere, hung up on the
Dope Sick, Girl lyrics

This song is about a girl
who has been off
she was dope sick

Dope sick girl hit and run
she took my money paper sun

Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn!

When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the six pence for the phone
And icicles your crying 
1980 lyrics


I grew up in the 1980's
In a 4-bedroom house
My family, my Grandma,
3 or 4 Aunties
Uncles and Brothers
From your cheek have just begun
Dont be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun

Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy who had given you so much fun
Has left you so cold in the paper sun
