This is a cover of David Bowie's 1983 hit "China Girl" that Paul did a great instrumental version of and asked me a couple of weeks ago if I'd be interested in singing along to ... I was :-)

Lyrics :
I could 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 the stars crashing
I'm a mess
without my little China girl
Wake up in the morning where's my little China girl
I hear her heart beating
loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing down
I feel a-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 girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
"Oh baby just you shut your mouth"
She says : "sh-sh-shhh"
