Siouxsie And The Banshees ----- Hong Kong Garden



47 years ago (18 August 1978), Siouxsie and the Banshees released their debut single "Hong Kong Garden". The Independent stated that the song was "arguably the most important of the early post-punk hits" and considered the track as one of the "10 best new wave singles" of 1978. In 2005, Q placed it in its list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Tracks Ever".

[Verse 1]
Harmful elements in the air
Cymbals crashing everywhere
Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds
Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number twenty-three?
Leave your yens on the counter please

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hong Kong Garden
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hong Kong Garden
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
Tourists swarm to see your face
Confucius has a puzzling grace
Disorientated you enter in
Unleashing scent of wild jasmine
Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise
A race of bodies small in size
Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey
Hong Kong Garden Takeaway

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hong Kong Garden
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
