One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head (HQ Audio)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9mwELXPGbA




Lyric

THE AMERICAN:
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!

COMPANY:
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.

THE AMERICAN:
One town's very like another,
When your head's down over your pieces, brother.

COMPANY:
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.

THE AMERICAN:
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town...

COMPANY:
Tea, girls, warm, sweet, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite.

THE AMERICAN:
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist,
Whose every move's among the purest.
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine.

COMPANY:
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.

THE AMERICAN:
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'd better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlors.

COMPANY:
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.

One night in bangkok (Original)

Robey的女聲版本。


另外我有找到Vinylshakerz的混音版本，
並不是很喜歡就沒放上來了。



這是我某天早上半夢半醒時在ICRT聽到的歌，
因為這首歌實在是太怪了，
可是又莫名地喜歡，
又管弦樂，又有合聲，又有口白，還有一股濃厚的異國風情，
中間還來一段笛子solo，
有夠詭異，
可是等到想到要記歌詞的時候，
已經最後一句了＝　＝

後來我才知道ICRT官網會列出歌單，
好不容易才終於找到，
原來是80年代的經典迪斯可舞曲，
我早該想到是老歌了＝　＝
看了MV後，
果然很詭異。
可是很好聽＝　＝
而且找到自己想找的歌真的很爽。




From Wikipedia

"One Night in Bangkok" is a song originally sung by Murray Head on the 1984 concept album for the musical Chess. Its music was composed by former ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with lyrics written by Tim Rice.

The release topped the charts in many countries, including West Germany, Switzerland and Australia. It peaked at #3 in both Canada and the United States, and at #12 in the UK. It is the last show tune to chart in the American top five to date.



原來是ABBA作的曲子，
我只知道Anthony Bourdain最討厭ABBA了ＸＤＤＤＤＤＤＤＤＤＤＤＤＤＤＤ
