This week’s Friday Song of the Day is China Girl by David Bowie. Why? I don’t know… I’m in a bit of a The Wedding Singer mood. Plus any song with the line, “Oh baby just you shut your mouth” has got to be good. Am I right? Right… right… right, right. (Yeah, I’ve lost my mind a little today)
I couldn’t escape this feeling with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashingI’m a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up in the morning, where’s my little China Girl
I hear her heart’s beating loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing downI’m feeling tragic like I’m Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China GirlI stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It’s in the white of my eyesMy little China Girl
You shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything you are
You know;
I’ll give you television
I’ll give you eyes of blue
I’ll give you men who want to rule the worldAnd when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says … sh-sh-shhh
