John Cale - Chinese Envoy video free download
From the album 'Music For A New Society' (1982)
LYRICS
She was a princess, much lower than people thought
A master of nothing a mistress of something she thought
She could talk about things that never mattered ever
From one person's miserable life after another
She could talk to the French and Germans at will
They'd never listen
Calling out her name you'd be surprised at what came
Galloping out of the darkness like furniture
We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu
And all his courtiers
The chinese envoy was here but left
The chinese envoy was here but left in his broken hearted pagoda
(Lyrics taken from: http://werksman.home.xs4all.nl/cale/lyrics/music_for_a_new_society.html#chinese_envoy)

Too haunting for the average viewer, I guess. Brillant but creepy.12 years ago

One wonders what a culturally diverse (aka multicultural) version of Monopoly (TM) would look like. Would there be more than one go round (multitrack, with perhaps an option to change tracks at Go, Just Visiting, eg), one Community Chest, but one Chance deck, and so on into Design Considerations. Different House/Hotel types, for times of Desegregation?12 years ago
