Xinjiang (XUAR) (Uyghur: شىنجاڭ, ULY: Shinjang; Mandarin pronunciation: [ɕíntɕjɑ́ŋ]; Chinese: 新疆; pinyin: Xīnjiāng; Wade–Giles: Hsin1-chiang1; Postal map spelling: Sinkiang) is an autonomous region (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) of the People's Republic of China. It is the largest Chinese administrative division and spans over 1.6 million km2. Xinjiang borders Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, has abundant oil reserves and is China's largest natural gas-producing region.
It is home to a number of different ethnic groups including the Uyghur, Han, Kazakh, Hui, Kyrgyz, and Mongol. More than a dozen autonomous prefectures and counties for minorities are located in Xinjiang. Older English-language reference works often refer to the area as Chinese Turkestan, Sinkiang, and East Turkestan. Xinjiang is divided into the Dzungarian Basin in the north and the Tarim Basin in the south by a mountain range. Only about 4.3% of Xinjiang's land area is fit for human habitation.
Beyond the visible world, a mans body
Has chosen his place to live
His whole life was dead
And dead he chose to live
I will sing him a true song
A man like him must need
Im the dust, hes the sea
Singing out a song
Singing out for free
Singing for stranger
Because you are forsaken
Like all those little gods
Because good and bad
Are crying for desire
So I exchange my body for a song
So I exchange my body for a song
So I exchange my body for a song
Thats why we all
Beyond the world
We chose to live
Thats what we need
Singing free
Singing free
Thats what we need
Because you are forsaken
Like all those little gods up high
Because good and bad
Are crying for desired ones
So I exchange my body for a song
So I exchange my body for a song
So I exchange my body for a song
A little while, a little while
Thats why we all
Beyond the world
We chose to live
Thats what we need
Singing free
Singing free
If you let me join your gang
I'll show you things you've never dreamed of
After school we'll steal a car
Drive until the feeling changes
All the people have to say, "We're swinging
We don't like you, go away we're swinging"
Feeling rotten to the core
And I don't need you anymore
Are you a hardcore hooligan?
Did you really burn the old school down?
If I set fire to you now
Will you even make a sound?
All the people have to say, "We're swinging
We don't like you, go away we're swinging"
Feeling rotten to the core
And I don't need you anymore
It's the end of the affair
Bet you never thought you'd even get this far
And I dare you to look down
See how brave you really are
Monmouth, Cardiff to the south downs, "We're swinging
From the coast to the cathedral towns we're swinging
Feeling rotten to the core
Thinking of swinging from a thread
Coiled tightly around my neck
Will an exposed pipe hold the weight of fears
Thinking of jumping from this spot
Well it's 52 stories 'til I hit the mark
Will the concrete waiting absorb the strain of the years
Bright lights are flashing, they hold me to my spot
I've got 2 seconds to get away or 52 until I drop
Well the whole thing is swinging it's a vicious and ugly curve
Electrocution where I lay
The taps are running and the radio plays
Will the water rolling absorb the strain of the shock
Shake that carcass, well that used to be your life
Before it consummates its love with an exposed pipe
Will the water rolling absolve you from all the things that you're not
If you really want to do it, do it slow
Real pain is the only way to go
You've got to savour the flavour
Self-destruction's a most attainable game
Pick yourself up, develop an addiction
Alcohol's a good one combined with sports, hunting, and fishing
Whole thing is vicious it's a most peculiar game
Shake that carcass, while it's hesitating
Before it consummates its love with the concrete waiting
Don't fool yourself into a quick and foolish end
If you're happy with your life
Roll over kiss your children and then your wife
And say
