lirik lagu c 21 - one night in bangkok (bonus track)
bangkok, oriental setting
and the city don’t know that the city is getting
the creme de la creme of the chess world in a
show with everything but yul brynner
time flies — doesn’t seem a minute
since the tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
all change — don’t you know that when you
play at this level there’s no ordinary venue
it’s iceland — or the philippines — or hastings — or — or this place!
one night in bangkok and the world’s your oyster
the bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free
you’ll find a god in every golden cloister
and if you’re lucky then the god’s a she
i can feel an angel sliding up to me
one town’s very like another
when your head’s down over your pieces, brother
it’s a drag, it’s a bore, it’s 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
some are set up in the somerset maugham suite
get thai’d! you’re talking to a tourist
whose every move’s 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
can’t be too careful with your company
i can feel the devil walking next to me
siam’s gonna be the witness
to the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
this grips me more than would a
muddy old river or reclining buddha
and thank god i’m only watching the game — controlling it —
i don’t see you guys rating
the kind of mate i’m contemplating
i’d 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 m-ssage parlours —
one night in bangkok and the world’s your oyster
the bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free
you’ll find a god in every golden cloister
a little flesh, a little history
i can feel an angel sliding 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
can’t be too careful with your company
i can feel the devil walking next to me
