Current song lyrics
THE AMERICAN:<br /><br />Scene from the music video<br /><br />Bangkok, Oriental setting<br />And the city don't know what the city is getting<br />The creme de la creme of the chess world in a<br />Show with everything but Yul Brynner<br /><br />Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute<br />Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it<br />All change -- don't you know that when you<br />Play at this level there's no ordinary venue<br /><br />It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --<br />or this place!<br /><br />COMPANY:<br /><br />One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster<br />The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free<br />You'll find a god in every golden cloister<br />And if you're lucky then the god's a she<br />I can feel an angel sliding up to me<br /><br />THE AMERICAN:<br /><br />One town's very like another<br />When your head's down over your pieces, brother<br /><br />COMPANY:<br /><br />It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity<br />To be looking at the board, not looking at the city<br /><br />THE AMERICAN:<br /><br />I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine<br />Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --<br /><br />COMPANY:<br /><br />Tea, girls, warm, sweet<br />Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite<br /><br />THE AMERICAN:<br /><br />Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist<br />Whose every move's among the purest<br />I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine<br /><br />COMPANY:<br /><br />One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble<br />Not much between despair and ecstasy<br />One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble<br />Can't be too careful with your company<br />I can feel the devil walking next to me<br /><br />THE AMERICAN:<br /><br />Siam's gonna be the witness<br />To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness<br />This grips me more than would a<br />Muddy old river or reclining Buddha<br /><br />Scene from the music video<br />And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --<br /><br />I don't see you guys rating<br />The kind of mate I'm contemplating<br />I'd let you watch, I would invite you<br />But the queens we use would not excite you<br /><br />So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage<br />parlours --<br /><br />COMPANY:<br /><br />One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster<br />The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free<br />You'll find a god in every golden cloister<br />A little flesh, a little history<br />I can feel an angel sliding up to me<br /><br />One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble<br />Not much between despair and ecstasy<br />One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble<br />Can't be too careful with your company<br />I can feel the devil walking next to me
