Q&A
T-Shirt Sun Tan Lyrics
he was walking 'round to you
one said french afternoon
so he called in to a shop for two
he bought himself an ice drink
a totally tropical nice drink
then he saw what he thought was you in a room
he thought about goin' over
but you were always much older
and your sex dressed breasts impressed too
he'd really like to get it together
before the twelve of never
so he's coming over
it's when all the phases come around
the clothes you wear the sex and love
it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
he always liked them older
so that his top lip touched on her shoulder
lionized undisguised kill for you
like to show you his teeshirt suntan
like to show you his minute head stand
then a gun spun open
it's when all the phases come around
the clothes you wear the sex and love
it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
to me to me to me to you
one said french afternoon
so he called in to a shop for two
he bought himself an ice drink
a totally tropical nice drink
then he saw what he thought was you in a room
he thought about goin' over
but you were always much older
and your sex dressed breasts impressed too
he'd really like to get it together
before the twelve of never
so he's coming over
the clothes you wear the sex and love
it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck
so that his top lip touched on her shoulder
lionized undisguised kill for you
like to show you his teeshirt suntan
like to show you his minute head stand
then a gun spun open
the clothes you wear the sex and love
it's enough for the time outta touch out of luck

Great song. Think its about someone who fancies someone that he doesn't stand much of a chance of getting, and thinks about going to see her whilst he's out and about. He tries to impress her with shit like his T-Shirt Suntan. She's obviously older and he gets a bit shy when he actually sees her. Situation I'm sure we've all been in.
The line "outta touch out of luck" is almost as if he's been rejected, although the rest of the song seems very happy and all about his undying love "kill for you".
Really summery tune for me, reminds me of a similar situation I was in in the park last year, the line "he'd really like to get it together before the twelve of never" means a lot to me. Reminds me of some good times, especially when he's too shy to speak to her. Plucks up the courage though, and its a very inspiring song
Reminds me of when I met a girl at work last year.
This song was in my head anyway because it had been on in the car on the way to work, but the lyrics in the song remind me of how I was feeling when I first went to talk to her. Doing anything I could to impress her with some good times after.
Are these lyrics right? I always thought it was "...one SAD French afternoon". And what does "Lionized un-disguised kill for you" mean? Does he become a lion? I thought it was "LYING EYES..." as opposed to lionized. The reason being that females are liars and users. Yes they are. I also thought it was "He always liked to hold her, so that his top lip touched on her shoulder". Makes more sense.
BUT I stand to be corrected.
