[00:01.90]Lyrics by：Julian Mitchell
[00:03.81]Composed by：Raymond Douglas Davies
[00:05.71]Now that you've found your paradise
[00:10.81]This is your kingdom to command
[00:15.70]You can go outside and polish your car
[00:21.01]Or sit by the fire in your Shangri la
[00:29.22]Here's your reward for working so hard
[00:34.11]Gone on the lavatories in the back yard
[00:39.06]Gone all the days when you dreamed of that car
[00:44.06]You just want to sit in your shangri la
[00:52.38]Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
[00:56.26]You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher
[01:02.30]You're in your place and you know where you are
[01:06.36]In your Shangri la
[01:11.46]Sit back in your old rocking chair
[01:15.67]You need not worry you need not care
[01:21.22]You can't go anywhere
[01:25.53]Shangri la
[01:29.82]Shangri la
[01:34.08]Shangri la
[01:43.65]The little man who gets the train
[01:47.40]Has got a mortgage hanging over his head
[01:53.90]But he's too scared to complain
[01:58.08]'Cause he's conditioned that way
[02:03.16]Time goes by and he pays off his debts
[02:06.80]Got a TV set and a radio
[02:13.21]For seven Shillings a week
[02:17.06]Shangri la
[02:21.72]Shangri la
[02:25.61]Shangri la
[02:34.02]Shangri la
[02:38.25]Shangri la
[02:42.42]Shangri la
[03:00.97]All the houses on the street have got a name
[03:04.53]'Cause all the houses in the street they look the same
[03:08.53]Same chimney pots same little cars same window panes
[03:12.65]The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know
[03:16.75]They say their lines they drink their tea and then they go
[03:20.81]They tell your business in another Shangri la
[03:24.67]The gas bills and the water rates and payments on the car
[03:29.00]Too scared to think about how insecure you are
[03:33.16]Life ain't so happy in your little Shangri la
[03:38.61]Shangri la
[03:39.83]Shangri la la la la la la la la la

[03:50.76]La la la la la la la la
[03:53.26]La la la la la la la la
[03:59.26]Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
[04:04.12]You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher
[04:11.12]You're in your place and you know where you are
[04:16.17]In your Shangri la
[04:21.92]Sit back in your old rocking chair
[04:26.59]You need not worry you need not care
[04:33.32]You can't go anywhere
