George Harrison - Hong Kong Blues (Somewhere In England)
It's the story of a very unfortunate coloured man
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
He got twenty years' privilege taken away from him
When he kicked old Buddha's gong
And now he's poppin' the piano just to raise the
price
Of a ticket to the land of the free
Well, he says his home's in 'Frisco where they
send the rice
But it's really in Tennessee
That's why he says
I need someone to love me
Need somebody to carry me home to San
Francisco
And bury my body there
I need someone to lend me a fifty-dollar bill
and then
I'll leave Hong Kong far behind me
For happiness once again
Won't somebody believe
I've a yen to see that Bay again
Everytime I try to leave
Sweet opium won't let me fly away
I need someone to love me
Need somebody to carry me home to San
Francisco
And bury my body there
That's the story of a very unfortunate coloured man
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong
He got twenty years' privilege taken away from him
When he kicked old Buddha's gong

| Says Mr Major earlier in the song too, referring to the British Prime Minister in the early 90's :) Nice additions by George.. not just lazy covering of his own compositions |

| One of My favorite Beatles songs, A great composition by George. Paul played lead on the original, but I like how Eric stay true to that, while putting his own spin on it. I also like added bridge, though I can't get all the lyrics straight. According to other sources, Paul played both lead and bass on this song. |
