C21 - "One Night In Bangkok" lyrics
*** Complimentary One Night In Bangkok Ringtone ***
Bangkok, Oriental setting
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
Time flies - doesn't seem a minute
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!
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
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, sweet, 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
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
Time flies - doesn't seem a minute
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!
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
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, sweet, 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
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
A little flesh, a little history
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
Can't be too careful with your company
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
I can feel the devil walking next 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
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
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
A little flesh, a little history
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
Can't be too careful with your company
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
I can feel the devil walking next to me
