Shanghai'd in shanghai (us version)


Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
Waiting for the man to come along
She comes up to me and says "too bad, too sad"
You know that he's been dead and gone.
L.A. lady, kinda shady
She picked him up and took him home
I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown
Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
Spaced out I crashed out
When the K.G.B. came on the line.
It's a cold one, bein' sent down
It's gotta be fifty below
Mama here's a postcard to let you know
I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tuscon
But we're headed for a southern star
The captain says it's fine in Havana
This dude behind me needs a cigar.
He's a big one, he's got a big gun
I guess we better go along
Mister we've got a gig in Arizona
Second billing to the Rolling Stones
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Laid low in 'Frisco
Done in and left behind for dead

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Nazareth is a Scottish rock band formed in Dunfermline in 1969 from the ashes of the semi-professional band The Shadettes. The group, consisting of Dan McCafferty (vocals), Manny Charlton (guitar), Pete Agnew (bass) and Darrell Sweet (drums), achieved success after relocating to London and signing a recording contract with Pegasus Records. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1971, followed by *Exercises* in 1972. It was their third album, *Razamanaz*, released in early 1973, that brought their first charting singles, "Broken Down Angel" and "Bad Bad Boy", both of which made it into the UK Top Ten. Nazareth continued to release successful music throughout the 1970s and 1980s, with albums such as *Loud 'n' Proud* (1973) and *Hair of the Dog* (1975). Their musical style is characterized by a mix of hard rock, blues and progressive influences. Among the band's most famous songs are "Love Hurts", "This Flight Tonight" and "The Party Don't Start 'Til I Walk In".
