Samnaun (Romansh: Samignun) is a municipality in the district of Inn in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.
The valley was first used as a seasonal mountain pasture for the villages of Tschlin and Ramosch. By 1220 the first permanent farm houses are mentioned. These farm houses and fields were given as a gift to the Marienberg Abbey by the counts of Tarasp in the 12th century.
Samnaun has an area, as of 2006, of 56.2 km2 (21.7 sq mi). Of this area, 46.1% is used for agricultural purposes, while 11.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.9% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (41.2%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).
The municipality is located in the Ramosch sub-district, of the Inn district. It is located in a left side valley of the Engadin valley, at an elevation of 1,700–1,840 meters (5,580–6,040 ft). It consists of five village sections; Compatsch, Laret, Plan (Plaun), Ravaisch and Samnaun.
In the 19th century, Samnaun could only be reached by road from Spiss in Austria. Thus Samnaun was excluded from the Swiss customs territory, and retains a privileged 'duty-free' status, albeit not without controversy, in the twenty-first century. The exception was maintained even after a road was built in 1905 linking Samnaun to Martina in the Inn valley.
Guess I better come clean
I was lying through my teeth
You know that I was getting
Downright mean
And you heard about enough
Excuses from me
To fill a magazine
It was getting hard to sleep
Cuz my talk was only cheap
But you're gonna be surprised
To find me talking like I'm
Someone new
Was looking oh so cool
But I done enough crying
All alone to fill a
King-size pool
Guess I had to find out
The hard way baby
I was someone's fool
It was getting hard to sleep
Cuz my heart was on the street
But you're gonna be surprised
To find me looking like I'm
Someone new cuz baby
Someone new got ahold of me
Someone new took control for me
And what I blew
It won't be held against me
Someone new is looking out for me
Someone who's got real love for me
But what's it to you
Are you gonna be the last to know
Are you gonna be the last to know
You think you're gonna be good
You think you're gonna try and
Save the world
Like some modern-day Robin Hood
Guess you're gonna find out
The hard way, babe
There's only One that could
It's getting too late to sleep
Why don't you come in off that street
And you're gonna be surprised
When you find out you can be
Someone new too cuz baby
Someone new could take care of you
Someone who's got real love for you
It's up to you what you gonna do yeh
Someone new looking out for you
Someone who's got real love for you
But what's it to you
Are you gonna be the last to know
You don't want to be the last to know
You could be someone new
