about

I've spent a lot of time travelling, particularly to Costa Rica. There's a strange dynamic between expats and locals. You can easily fall in love with a country, but how long does it take before it loves you back? Is it even possible?

lyrics

GRINGO IN PARADISE

Well the breeze is blowing
And the palm trees are swaying
Like flamenco dancers
And they’re quietly saying
Ah show me, ah show me

And if you wait long enough
you might get a coconut
and that might be good
and that might be bad
‘cause it might land on your head or in your hands
so you better be sure on where you stand

Ah show me, show me that you love me
Ah show me, show me that you need me
And after a while you just give in to the shaker and the conga
And sooner or later you habla when you
haha and you chacha to the song yeah

And 6 rums later
everything is “muy bien”
there’s lime in the glass and salt on the rim
and I don’t even know what language I’m thinking in

Ah show me, show me that you love me
Ah show me, show me that you need me
And after a while you just give in to the shaker and the conga
And sooner or later you habla when you
haha and you chacha to the song yeah

There’s lime in the glass and salt on the rim
There’s lime in the glass and salt on the rim
and I don’t even know what language I’m drinking in

Ah show me, show me that you love me
Ah show me, show me that you need me
Ah show me, show me that you love me
Ah show me, show me that you need me

Ah, muéstrame que me amas
Muéstrame que me necesitas
Muéstrame que me amas
Muéstrame
