one night in bangkok - chess in concert lyrics
bangkok! oriental setting
and the city don’t know what 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 tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it
all change, but don’t you know that when you
play at this level it’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.
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.
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
