Send ‘Paper Sun’ Ringtone to Cell

Well you think you had a good time
With the boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet

    Gives me sucha great feeling whenever I hear this or anything else by Traffic or Blind faith. Never get tired of it! What innovative musicians they were and I just don't hear too much music coming out these days that is as exciting or original as this was.

    I've never really understood what this is all about. I think someone has slipped something in their drinks, or have thy just had too much sun... ? Great fun though!

    Great song by a great group. I still have the original single 45 of Paper Sun on the Island record label with the pink cover. I also have Hole In My Shoe as a single, plus albums.

    Great song! One of the first songs that I remember as having awareness of being different from other stuff I was hearing at that time, of being more engaging.
