LyricMeaning

Shanghai
Ed Harcourt

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, 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
