Joe Jackson - Shanghai Sky Lyrics






Strange
How the world got so small
I turned around and there was nowhere left to go
So sad
The dream always dies
Each new arrival closes places in my mind
But I can dream
Until I go
Of smells that I don't recognize
And by the river
In Shanghai
The colour of the sky
Is something I've never seen
After the summer rain
Children smile
Curious and kind
And the world is big again

    1:47 - 1:49 That bass slide

    I think like Todd Rundgren and a few others, Joe will always have a small group of followers who see the beauty and depth of his work but overall, beauty is largely overlooked these days. I can't believe how few hits this has had. Bought the album in '86, loved it. Timeless.

    Masterpiece

    A very moving piece - sounds ever new... yet, it takes me back to my childhood.
