Bamboo Town Lyrics

After viewing the lyrics I think it could be a song written for Tina's drug dealer. Grace Jones wrote a song for her house keeper Chan hitchhikes to Shanghai, which has a similar oriental theme. The song reminds me of Never Let Down Again by Depeche Mode, but the song is not as profound. The entire album was never released to CD, and this is one of the best songs on Close to the Bone. They should remaster Close to the Bone and put it on ITunes. The entire album Close to the Bone has a drug sort of theme.
