Ed Harcourt Shanghai Lyrics

Shanghai Lyrics

Let's move away together, go interplanetary 

Maybe in Chinese weather,
where it's sanitary 

I'll go out trawler fishing, yeah we'll have tuna
steak 

I'm on a special mission, for us to have a break 



We'll climb the corporate buildings 

Spray-paint the outside walls 

You bet that they'll be yielding 

When the castle falls 

We'll
swim beneath the ocean 

Near the coral reef I have a certain notion 

That it will not be brief 



We're going to Shanghai

To
watch the red sky 

We're moving to Shanghai 

Goodbye, goodbye 

We're going to Shanghai

So don't you cry 

We're moving to
Shanghai 



Looks like we might have made it

Put on your
silkworm dress 

You look so beautiful and I look such a mess 

Across the city's landscape, the sun burns crimson red 

Maybe the moon
will wait, before we go to bed 



We're going to Shanghai 

To
watch the red sky 

We're moving to Shanghai 

Goodbye, goodbye 

We're going to Shanghai 

So don't you cry 

We're moving to
Shanghai 



Maybe, maybe we'll have a fresh new start 

I'll
learn the martial arts 

We'll have our own rickshaw cart 

We're
moving to Shanghai
