Frankie Goes To Hollywood – One Night In Bangkok Lyrics

Artist: Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Song: One Night In Bangkok

Music & Lyrics : Benny Anderson – Tim Rice – Bjsrn Ulvaeus
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
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, 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
