China Blue

Liner Notes

#SteelyDan #DonaldFagen I'm detecting a certain sameness to my work this year, which is sort of unusual. I listened to a lot of SD/DF this year and it's leaking out everywhere. You are what you eat, so choose wisely. Another sordid tale of an immigrant having a bad time in the US. Anyway...

Lyrics

CHINA BLUE

Got back from Shanghai High as a kite Staying awake all night with you China blue

Just loving Bangkok Talking non-stop Riding the big bamboo Jumped from the top and flew China blue

Sitting here ringside Back in the states It's everything that she hates She's coming a bit unglued China blue

Out on the corner Taking her shot Giving it all she's got She smiles as she turns the screw China blue

A song of misspent freedom? It's a great groove and fun listen! The guitar solo.is great!

Picked this as a random song. Luckily I love SD/DF.

The bass and guitar phenomenal. I really like the lyrics, and using the ooh rhyme at the end of each verse. Excellent stuff.

Thanks! I know it's not for everyone. Maybe I should stop tagging that LOL It's an influence, particularly in this song. The lyrics took longer to settle on than anything else, so I'm glad you like!
