lyrics

Chorus:

(Lost in Palamos)
Spain, not South America
(Then why use the tumbao?)
Maybe ‘cos I like it
(Welcome to Palamos)
Get me that patatas bravas, hermano
(Lost in Palamos)
Is how you find Palamos

With my singular look of a singlet, and red sanuks
I walk the plank
A seasoned tourist with my laptop bag
Set to collect the sights, after emails to write
So I pick a pretty place by the sea, and hope for a gentle
breeze
A little bit of English please…
“uh, unos beer-os?”

(Chorus)

And then I’m wont to wander down these subtle, sleepy
streets
A million previous feet on which have walked the lengths
of history
And that’s pretty neat
So I deserve a treat: two big scoops for three Euros
That leaves enough for churros
Hey, I mean, I’m working hard here...

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

Now I’m off the face of this place-mat map
Not another “pasty” here, and I’m okay with that
This church has seen more time than my country
By centuries…
So I stop to say “hello”, and rest my leisured soul
Ay, cielos!
Santiago, guide me home
‘Cos now I’m really lost
