Lyrics:

(Winwood/Capaldi/Wood)


In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y

Place where I once used to be

No where doing nothing

People there were made of steel

Tiny cogs in one big wheel

Turning never learning



Had to make a break

And soon I had to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger

In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes



In a Shanghai Noodle Factr'y

Place where I once used to be

No where doing nothing

People there were made of cans

Packed like roosters in a pen

Crowing, never knowing



Had to make a break

I knew I couldn't fake it any longer

Everything just aches

Soon I'd have to wake up feeling stronger, feeling stronger

In my island of dreams, with impossible schemes
