Shanghai Noodle Factory Lyrics
In a Shanghai Noodle Fact'ry
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning never learning
Had to make a break
And soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes
In a Shanghai Noodle Fact'ry
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of cans
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing
Had to make a break
I knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning never learning
And soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes
Place where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of cans
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing
I knew I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes

I can't believe this is the first note here... technically a Traffic song but oh well... one of the greatest songs ever !!!
I'be always seen it as a song of reinvention...
Anyone who has escaped a tedious life to something much better understands this song
I get this song stuck in my head often when I'm at work. That and David Gilmour's There's No Way Out of Here.
