Shangri-La is an urbanization zone of villas in Menorca. The name Shangri-La comes from the legendary land (Atlantis), impossible to reach. Nudism on beaches is allowed in the island: it's not difficult to find some beautiful nude girls around :). Shangri-La. In the front beach, fresh water of the lake meets salt water in the sea.
Are the lyrics of this song referred to a woman or the island itself ?

Now that you've found your paradise This is your Kingdom to command You can go outside and polish your car Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-La Here is your reward for working so hard Gone are the lavatories in the back yard Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car You just want to sit in your Shangri-La
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher You're in your place and you know where you are In your Shangri-La Sit back in your old rockin' chair You need not worry, you need not care You can't go anywhere Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La
The little man who gets the train Got a mortgage hanging over his head But he's too scared to complain 'Cos he's conditioned that way Time goes by and he pays off his debts Got a TV set and a radio For 7 shillings a week Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La
And all the houses in the street have got a name 'Cos all the houses in the street they look the same Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know They say their lines, they drink their tea, and then they go They tell your business in another Shangri-La The gas bills and the water rates, and payments on the car Too scared to think about how insecure you are Life ain't so happy in your little Shangri-la Shangri-La, Shangri-La la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire [...] Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La
It's the end of a perfect day for all the surfer boys and girls the sun's dropping down in the bay and falling off the world there's a diamond in the sky, our evening stone in our Shangri-La
get that fire burning strong right here and right now It's here and then it's gone, there's no secret anyhow. We may never love again to the music of guitars in our Shangri-La
Tonight your beauty burns into my memory the wheel of heaven turns above us endlessly this is all the heaven we've got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La.
Tonight your beauty burns into my memory the wheel of heaven turns above us endlessly this is all the heaven we've got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La, in our Shangri-La in our Shangri-La
