[FFS, Sparks, Franz Ferdinand - The Man Without a Tan lyrics]

The man without a tan
Came a-strollin' into town
He had the whitest collar
Anybody'd seen around
The girls were all a-drooling as
They hummed a lullaby
The men were all suspicious but
They didn't know just why

The man without a tan
He's a threat to you and me
He has the kind of hands that
You might see on your TV
And if he touched your woman
How the hell could she resist?
I'm sure he'll entertain her with
A little bit of Liszt

Our rugged handsomeness is no match for
The man without a tan

The man without a tan
He had a walk around the town
He found our only restaurant and
Entered and sat down
He ordered Coca-Cola with some
Lemon but no ice
He reached into his pocket and
He found his lucky dice

He finished up his cola
And the waitress thought, "So soon?"
He looked a little bit like
Gary Cooper in High Noon
He left to find a movie theatre
It was shuttered down
It seemed like there were lots of
Things that had been shuttered down

Our rugged handsomeness is no match for
The man without a tan

I overheard my girlfriend on
Her landline telephone
She thought I couldn't hear her
But she really should've known
The man without a tan was on
The line and being cute
I stood back in the shadows
I was fuming in my boots

Our rugged handsomeness is no match for
The man without a tan

Twenty years have passed and I'm
The man without a tan
I'm here to take you 'way
From every rugged man the man without a tan

And then you came right out with it and said
"You are my man"
(Then you came right out with it and said
"You are my man") the man without a tan

And then you came right out with it and said
"You are my man"
(Then you came right out with it and said
"You are my man") the man without a tan

And then you came right out with it and said
"You are my man"
(Then you came right out with it and said
"You are my man") the man without a tan
