one night in Bangkok.....
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, 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
저 어렸을때... 종로로 명동으로 속칭 닭장이라는곳에 가면
항상 들을수 있던 노래 발바닥에 불이나도록 비벼대며 놀고
나오던 그때.. 아마 그때 부터 이노래를 들으며 방콕에 대한 상상이
커져만 갔던거 같습니다. 지금도 핸폰에 저장시켜놓고 수시로 듣고있습니다.
하고싶은것은 무척 많았으나 실제 할것은 별로 없었던 그시절....
작년에 파타야에 가서 나이트클럽에 갔더니 이음악이 나오더군요.
익숙하게 디스코를 추던 중년의 서양 아저씨를 보니 그시절이 생각나더군요.
그래서 지금도 태국을 항상그리워 하나봅니다.
태국에 가면 내 젊은시절이 떠오릅니다. 제한된 자유로움을 느끼던 그시절..
