A Song a Day

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Hong Kong Garden

Were you there at the time? This song comes back to me every few days, one of the all-time greats. Look at her dance (isn't she beautiful?), AND listen to that guitar! PLAY IT LOUD.



Harmful elements in the air
Symbols clashing everywhere
Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number 23?
Leave your yens on the counter please
Hong kong garden

Tourists swarm to see your face
Confuscius has a puzzling grace
Disoriented you enter in
Unleashing scent of wild jasmine

Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise
A race of bodies small in size
Chicken chow mein and chop suey
Hong kong garden takeaway
