Big in Japan Lyrics
Winter’s city-side
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I’d ever find a glimpse of summer’s heat-waves in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now it’s history I see
Here’s my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it’s easy when you’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
It’s when
You’re big in japan, then I’ll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in japan, it’s easy to be
Neon on my skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or shall I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me, now it’s history I see
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it’s easy when you’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
It’s when
You’re big in japan, then I’ll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in japan, it’s easy to be
Too late, too late
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
It’s when
You’re big in japan, then I’ll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in japan, it’s easy to be
You’re big in japan, then I’ll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in japan, it’s easy to be
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
It’s when
You’re big in japan
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I’d ever find a glimpse of summer’s heat-waves in your eyes
Here’s my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it’s easy when you’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
It’s when
You’re big in japan, then I’ll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in japan, it’s easy to be
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or shall I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes
You did what you did to me, now it’s history I see
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it’s easy when you’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
It’s when
You’re big in japan, then I’ll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in japan, it’s easy to be
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
It’s when
You’re big in japan, then I’ll sleep by your side all through the night
Big in japan, it’s easy to be
Big in japan, it’s easy to be
You’re big in japan
You’re big in japan
It’s when
You’re big in japan

Yes? lol
Imagine my surprise when I heard "I will wait here for my man tonight" when I still thought the singer was a guy. : D
it sounds like the lyrics talk about a break up and the girl goes to Japan in cold winter to forget about the relationship "I had no illusions That I’d ever find a glimpse of summer’s heat-waves in your eyes" so to forget about the whole thing she has a crazy night on the town drinking partying clubbing..and whatnot..
Also... Horsepower844182 the original version of this song was done by Alphaville whose singer is a male
In addition to the most obvious (that she's on a trip to forget a bad relationship), I think there's also kinda a sarcastic subtext because many American rock bands are big in Japan after their popularity in the 'states wanes.
usually I like originals more than coverversions but this one not...I love that song in exactly this version...I cant even stand a few seconds of the original from alphaville :)
Lol... I love this song to no end, but I always laugh at the "Big in Japan, it's easy to be" part... Cuz Asians... and their small... "persons"... ... And has anyone ever wondered why the name of this band is Bat Shit Monkeys? But no, I'm just kidding, I love these guys, the lead singer is way hot, and the drummer knows what he is doin'
I just heard this song again and figured it was about the size of the guys manhood.
"It's when, You're big in Japan, then Ill sleep by your side all through the night"
Based off a stereotype that is Asians have smaller parts, and being big in japan leaves him at average.
Since its kinda about a breakup I'd imagine, it doesn't seem too far off.
Hahahh this made me laugh! :D
Hahahh this made me laugh! :D
I love the version from Ane Brun. It's so dreamy and it really suits her!
