Big World — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Looking over hong kong harbour

Throw a shrimp in yellow wine

Eat it when it ceases moving

Just before is fine too

Theres an ancient chinese saying

Always seems to slip my mind

Does it really die with honour

Does it really matter

Its a big world - so much to do



Sitting on a beach in bali

Tried to reach and grab a cloud

Looked so much like cotton candy

And Im feeling god-like

Could it be just what Im eating

Only mushrooms after all

And with juice of avocado

I should live forever



Its a big world - so much to see much



Sitting on the floor in kyoto

Marvel at the latest catch

Eat it as soon as you are able

Quick before they cook it

Theres an eyeball staring at me

And I know Ive met my match

Do I eat or am I eaten

Its a new adventure

Its a big world - so much to do

Its a big world - so much to see



From the leningradsky prospekt

On the road to mandalay

Theres a new intoxication

Hits you just as youre leaving

Caf sur les champs-elyses

Baklava in istanbul

Smoke a pipe in casablanca

Question all you believe in

Its a big world - so much to do

Its a big world - so much to see

And plenty of room for me and you
