Shanghaied


(Shanghainese)Welcome! How are you? Do you like Shanghai? Shanghai is so lovely!
Fascinating sights so many and endless
Must try and see each and every one
Come on!
Heard there is one night legend over there
What sort of spell did she put on me
Or what kind of medicine did she give me?
This town of yore has bewitched both men and women
Make me forget from where I came and where I am going
But I will regret if I leave
Because of her....
Happiness become instantaneous
She dazzles with her eyes
Her hands wave at me
All the while smiling
Because of her....
Everybody chasing and rushing
All acting brave
Wanting to foot the bill
Thank her for the special treatment
Yesterday I didn't go home (bewildered and confused)
Don't want to go home
Today I also will not go home (bewildered and confused)
I don't have a home
Here you see a demolished building
While over there another being built
Under the colourful neon lights
Are brightly dressed men and women (they never stop)
Rich or poor, they all want to be part of the action
The nightlife is too alluring
Because of her....
I forsake my past
Even the memory of the moment I was bewitched by her
Because of her....
I follow by her side
But talking of sentiment
She just closes her eyes and laughs
"Thank you, please come again tomorrow."
Yesterday I didn't go home (bewildered and confused)
Don't want to go home
Today I also will not go home (bewildered and confused)
I don't have a home
Carrying a single suitcase
Risking my life in this garden of paradise
When I stop dreaming in the night
And loneliness creep into my heart
Then I ask myself, "Where am I now?"
Yesterday I did not....
(shanghainese) When will you come back?
Today I also will not....
(shanghainese) Don't forget to call me!
Yesterday I didn't go home
Today I also will not go home
(shanghainese) Are you thinking of me?
Yesterday I didn't go home (bewildered and confused)
Don't want to go home
Today I also will not go home (bewildered and confused)
I don't have a home
(Where are you going?)
Don't go home
Don't want to go home
(Where do you want to go?)
Don't go home
Don't want to go home
Fascinating sights so many and endless
Must try and see each and every one
Come on!
Heard that there is one night legend over there
Everyone looking for the promised land
Don't want to go, don't want to go
Don't want to go home.........

Music by David Tao, lyrics by Wah Wah, sang by David Tao from his Ultrasound album
