One Night in Bangkok


Originally done by Murray Head. this cover done by YOYOMI

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, you know
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 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
What do you mean, ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm and
Some are set up in the Somerset Mount 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 make 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
It grips me more than would a
Old muddy 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'll let you watch, I would invite you
But the kind of queens, they just won't excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlors 'cause we're not having it
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 make the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

作詞/作曲:Benny Goran Bror Andersson / Bjoern K. Ulvaeus / Tim Rice

1981年,愛國歌曲 ====================== 作詞:孫儀,作曲:劉家昌 ====================== 沒有國哪裡會有家,是千古流傳的話; 多少歷史的教訓證明,失去國家多可怕。 炎黃子孫用血和汗,把民族的根紮下; 多少烈士獻出生命,培育出自由的花。 國家!國家!我愛的大中華; 四海之內的中國人,永遠在青天白日下。 ********************************************** 沒有國哪裡會有家,是萬世不變的話; 當你踏上了別人的土地,才知道更需要它。 在風雨中使我有信心,就是我的國家; 苦難中把我扶養長大,也是我的國家。 國家!國家!我愛的大中華; 四海之內的中國人,永遠在青天白日下。 國家!我愛中華。
