[Verse 1]

I met a girl at the beach

It was underneath a blazing sun

Just like usual I was looking for a little fun

I was sitting and chilling out

And listening to the breaking waves

That's when the day really started to change

[Hook 1]

Rising out of the sea like Excalibur's sword

All the men they're staring and the women they scorn

A glorious vision, the seventh deadly sin

Tall, tanned and lovely like songs from Jobim

[Verse 3]

I started to gather my one thousand things

The sand's in my shoes and my skins' been burning

It's very different where I'm from

So it's hard to be like a true beach bum

I just get dizzy in the midday sun

[Hook 2]

She seems to dance around, she's born for this place

Always next to her she keeps the same old battered books

Sometimes right over her face

A beautiful full moon party

She lives in the light of day

And is she reading 'A Picture of Dorian Gray'?

Okay

[Verse 4]

She's a towering inferno of restless energy

But she's as patient as students of ornithology

She seems to wait for nothing but the close of the day

Then all of a sudden, just like I had prayed

I see her start to look my way

I'm as self-conscious and nervous as a first-time virgin drug smuggler

I'm doing my best to keep my eyes from constantly being obvious and staring at her

I play with my phone, start texting a mate

I hope they call back, that sucks

'Cause I'm here, she's hot, and it's great

[Verse 5]

I take a little walk, over to the bar on the beach

The other English guys are as burnt as me

I order a beer 'cause I'm feeling real thirsty

I know it should be water 'cause this'll dehydrate me

[Hook 3]

To my surprise as I am sitting here

She sits right down right next to me and orders a beer

She speaks just like a native girl, she's humming a song

I'm resisting every tempting moment where I'm thinking I can just sing right along

Singing along

[Verse 6]

And now I can't believe it

But she asked me where I'm from

Her accent is thick

I definitely wasn't wrong

I tell her I'm from London

And she seems impressed

We start joking about the cold

The wind, the rain and the fog

Well all I try and do is stop staring at her chest

[Hook 4]

She'd love to move away and pursue her career

She studied at the University over here

She said she had some trouble getting hold of a visa

I said I would marry her, seemed to please her

[Verse 7]

It was all going well so I ordered some shots (shots)

It went straight to my head 'cause I was tired and hot (hot)

This girl she had no problem with all of the tequila

I was just so shamelessly trying to feed her

[Hook 5]

I knew I was mangled when I tried to stand

I had double vision and the room span

She grabbed my arm to keep me steady

And she asked me in that cute voice "Are you feeling horny?"

[Verse 8]

We were staggering up the four flights of stairs together

I began to imagine me ensuing pleasure

As we entered the room she began to undress

She seductively asked me to turn around quickly to increase the suspense

[Hook 6]

Closing my eyes was like entering a vortex

Was I even going to manage to get through the sex

And so before it even all began

She battered me over the head with the bedside lamp

[Verse 9]

I awoke the next morning

And I was feeling like crap

All that was left was the shirt on my back

She must have spiked my drink

I could feel it in my throat

On the side of the table she'd left me a note

Thanks for last night, I don't need a visa

Why would I move, life is just easier

[Outro]

There's no moral in this tale

Which I guess is a shame

Cause the truth be told

I'd probably do it again

I'd probably do it again
