No Tan Lines Lyrics
Deviances anticipated
Triple-X or at least R-rated
San Tropez, the middle of May
There’s no tan lines tonight
No tan lines tonight,
But trench it, rev it
It's time to share spit
in the sauna, we'll become close
with ya, oh yeah!
Princess with a cold killer instinct
Winked at me from across the ice rink
Pleather uppers soft for the spins
But she gives it away without a rest
Language buried her in the motherland
Language barrier in the Pathan grain
Yeah, oh yeah!
You will be my candy striper
Junior Leaguer, bedpan wiper
Convalescent enema essence
I live to be gray, I live to be gray!
Triple-X or at least R-rated
San Tropez, the middle of May
There’s no tan lines tonight
No tan lines tonight,
It's time to share spit
in the sauna, we'll become close
with ya, oh yeah!
Winked at me from across the ice rink
Pleather uppers soft for the spins
But she gives it away without a rest
Language barrier in the Pathan grain
Yeah, oh yeah!
Junior Leaguer, bedpan wiper
Convalescent enema essence
I live to be gray, I live to be gray!

Agreed, quite awesome. The song rides an off-kilter, Bo Diddley-gone-surfing beat and explodes into these clean guitar solos full of crazy tremolos and bursts of drum fills.
It's start out kind of horny, with the hook-up in the Riviera. Then, somehow it moves into, what I think is a sexual come-on made by an ice dancer. Next it is revealed that the woman might be Pathan, which is another word for Pashtun, the ethnic people from Afghanistan. The last verse, seems to be a cheerful account of how the woman will attend to the singer's convalescent needs when he can't wipe his own @$$ and smells like crap.
Yup, it's a Pavement song.
This song is so great.
