C21 - One Night in Bangkok (bonus track) слова песни
Bangkok, Oriental settingAnd 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 massage 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
