Paper Sun (Live, Roundhouse, London, 21 January 2007) [2025 Remaster] Lyrics[Verse 1]
So you think you're having good times
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 upset
Because it's just a paper sun
[Chorus]
Ah, paper sun
Ah, paper sun
[Verse 2]
In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes all thrown about
Cigarettes burn windowsills
Your meter's all run out
But then again, it's nothing
You just split when the day is done
Visions led to nowhere
Hung beneath the paper sun
[Chorus]
Ah, paper sun
Ah, paper sun
[Bridge]
Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh-cut flowers give me sweet perfume
But too much sun will burn (Too much sun will burn)
Too much sun will burn (Too much sun will burn)
[Verse 3]
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
The icicles you're crying
On your cheek have just begun
Don't be too upset, good times are
Enjoyed with paper sun
[Chorus]
Ah, paper sun
Ah, paper sun
[Outro]
Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy that has given you so much fun
Has left you so cold, my, in your paper sun
In the paper sun
Oh, in the paper sun
In your paper sun
Hey, thank you
Stevie's gonna sing a song for us
Steven?
Okay, this is a thing called "Lost Inside Your Love"
