Karaoké One Night In Bangkok (Version single) Murray Head

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

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 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

What do you mean?

You seen one crowded polluted stinking town you might

T-girls warm and some 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 is 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 massage parlors

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

Slidin' 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
