One Night In Bangkok by Murray Head
Bangkok
Oriental Setting
But the city don't know
What the (1)________ is getting
The creme de la creme
Of the (2)__________ world
In a show with everything
But Yul Brynner
Time flies
Doesn't (3)________ a minute
Since the (4)________________ spa
Had the (5)__________ (6)________ in it
All changed
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 (7)________ place
One night in Bangkok
And the world's your oyster
The bars are temples
But their (8)____________ 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 (9)________ an angel
Sliding up to me
One town's
Very like another
When (10)________ head's down
Over your pieces, brother
It's a drag
It's a bore
It's (11)____________ such a pity
To be (12)______________ at the board
Not looking at the city
What do you mean?!
You've seen one crowded
Polluted, stinking town
Tea girls, warm and sweet
(Sweet)
Some are set up in
The Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai'ed
You're (13)______________ to a tourist
Whose every move's
Among the purest
I get my kicks
Above the waistline
Sunshine!
One night in Bangkok makes
The 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 (14)________ the devil
Walking next to me
Siam's gonna be
The witness
To the ultimate test
Of (15)________________ fitness
This (16)__________ me (17)________ 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 (18)____________ you
But the queens we use
Would not excite you
So you (19)____________ 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 (20)__________ (21)____________ ain't free
You'll find a god
In (22)__________ golden cloister
A (23)____________ flesh
A little history
I can (24)________ an angel
Sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok makes
The hard man humble
Not (25)________ 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 (26)________ to me
