George shows some excellent wordplay prowess on this track. Lines like "My straits are dire from the wok into the fire", "sometimes there's no hope in, in chasing opium", and "you could be kinder and show me asia minor" flow so well and really make the song. Even the title, "Shanghai Surprise", has a really nice flow it it's meter and alliteration. Also, some of the lyrics are wrong. He definitely says, "I was knocked on my ass on a dock at yang-tse", and it kinda sounds like he's actually saying "Jing-tse" instead of "Yang-Tse".
No comments on this? I will change that.
