Costa Del Sombre
Fully covered up on an oily beach A flat or apartment, just a little out of reach An ignorance of language but a love of speech Costa Del Sombre
Deliberately using words he knows are incorrect Broken English brings a kind of new respect When he tries to say he's sorry in local dialect The gulf between
She was sort of lonely He was lonely too So when they both took to the dance floor They knew just what to do
Yes, sir, he could boogie But she could boogie too The steps she'd been saving up Since 1972
Desperate little feeling that you lost in life That every minute ex-husband gains a second wife That the sun that blinds you now one day will twist the knife Costa Del Sombre
Speaking different language but it's loud and clear The dark eyes of the picador are about to spear It's the very reason she feels so wanted here The gulf between
She was sort of lonely Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com He was lonely too So when they both took to the dance floor They knew just what to do
Yes, sir, he could boogie But she could boogie too The steps she'd been saving up Since 1972
Halfway to Villa Verde From the old village green Coaxing conversation To sombrero dreams
When conversation's lively And home life's so dull And the sun burns up your face Just yards from your skull
She was sort of lonely He was lonely too So when they both took to the dance floor They knew just what to do
Yes, sir, he could boogie But she could boogie too The steps she'd been saving up Since 1972
