Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 124

 
Today is Friday, the 11th of September 2020.

9/11 - Once more. Is the song coincidencing? No, not this time...

 

"Bromford Surprise"

 I can't understand how I've gone astray
I should be sailing away on a liner

I was knocked on my back on a dock at Yang-Tse
It's a hell of a way to see China
But I'm ready

 You must be crazy
And you got no money

And you're a liar

 My straits are dire from the, the wok into the fire
I'd like to trust you but I've broken my rickshaw

Sometimes there's no hope in, in chasing opium
I'd like to love you but I'm not sure what's in your eyes
Mmm, Bromford Surprise

 Whatever you're saying, I want it anyway in
Been hanging 'round like a kid at your back door (ooh, babe!)

You could be kinder, and show me Asia minor
I'll let you love me, let you see what's here in my eyes
Bromford Surprise

 You must be crazy (crazy)
And you got no money (money)

And it seems like madness

 Back streets so crowded that, no room to swing a cat
I'd like to know you but you're acting so coolie
I'm finding out pursued by, evil looking dudes it's
Getting hot for me like tofu when it deep fries

Oh, Bromford Surprise

 But, baby, you look like any common crook
That's hanging 'round in those real shady places (ooh, babe)

While you assess me, why not try to impress me?
Step over here, let me see what's there in your eyes
Oh, Bromford Surprise

 I don't understand how I got delayed
I should be sailing today on a liner

Was kicked in the ass on a dock at Yang-Tse
It's no way for a man to see China
But I'm ready

 You must be crazy (crazy)
And you got no money (money)

But you're a trier

 My straits are dire from the, the wok into the fire
I'd like to meet you but I've broken my chopstick

Sometimes there's no hope in, in chasing promises
I wanna love you though it could prove to be unwise
Bromford Surprise

 Whatever you're saying, I want it anyway in
Been hanging 'round for a ride on your rickshaw (ooh, babe)

You may correct me, now that you've inspected me
Come over here, let me feel you cut down to size
Oh, Bromford Surprise

 My straits are dire from the, the wok into the fire
I'd like to know you but I'm not really social

Sometimes it's no joke, can't cope with opium
I'd like to love you but I'm not sure what's in your eyes
Bromford Surprise

 Bromford Surprise
Bromford Surprise

 And you got no money
But you're a trier
