- Murray Head One Night In Bangkok 歌詞
- Murray Head
- One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Cant be too careful with your company
I can feel the Devil walking next to me
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city dont know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies , doesnt seem a minute
Since the Tirolean Spa had the chess boys in it
All change, dont you know that when you
Play at this level, theres no ordinary venue
Its Iceland or the Philippines
Or Hastings or, or this place
One night in Bangkok and the worlds your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls aint free
Youll find a God in every golden cloister
And if youre lucky then the Gods a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One towns very like another
When your heads down over your pieces, Brother
Its a drag, its a bore, its really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
Whaddya mean?
Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea girls, warm and sweet, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham Suite
'Get Thaid', youre talking to a tourist
Whose every moves among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Cant betoo careful with your company
I can feel the Devil walking next to me
Siams gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would
A muddy old river or Reclining Buddha
But thank God, Im only watching the game, controlling it
I dont see you guys rating
The kind of mate Im contemplating
Id let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlors
One night in Bangkok and the worlds your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls aint free
Youll find a God in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel slidin up to me
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Cant be too careful with your company
I can feel the Devil walking next to me
