[00:00.31] [Murray Head]

[00:00.31] Bangkok, Oriental setting

[00:01.94] And the city don't know what the city is getting

[00:04.33] The crème de la crème of the chess world

[00:05.92] In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

[00:13.62] Time flies, doesn't seem a minute

[00:15.22] Since the Tirolean Spa had the chess boys in it

[00:17.88] All change, don't you know that when you

[00:19.75] Play at this level there's no ordinary venue?

[00:22.94] It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings or

[00:26.97] Or this place

[00:28.83] [Anders Glenmark]

[00:28.83] One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

[00:33.34] The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free

[00:37.86] You'll find a god in every golden cloister

[00:42.11] And if you're lucky then the god's a she

[00:46.36] I can feel an angel slidin' up to me

[00:50.07] [Murray Head & Anders Glenmark]

[00:50.07] One town's very like another

[00:51.66] When your head's down over your pieces, brother

[00:54.05] It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity

[00:55.91] To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

[00:58.58] What do you mean?

[00:59.91] You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town

[01:03.10] Tea girls, warm and sweet (Warm, sweet)

[01:04.97] Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

[01:07.62] Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist

[01:09.21] Whose every move's among the purest

[01:12.43] I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

[01:18.54] [Anders Glenmark]

[01:18.54] One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

[01:23.05] Not much between despair and ecstasy

[01:27.30] One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

[01:31.81] Can't be too careful with your company

[01:36.06] I can feel the devil walkin' next to me

[01:42.97] (Flute Solo)

[01:59.42] [Murray Head]

[01:59.42] Siam's gonna be the witness

[02:01.01] To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness

[02:03.93] This grips me more than would a

[02:05.52] Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

[02:08.17] And thank God I'm only watching the game controlling it

[02:12.51] I don't see you guys rating

[02:14.44] The kind of mate I'm contemplating

[02:16.59] I'd let you watch, I would invite you

[02:18.71] But the queens we use would not excite you

[02:21.93] So you'd better go back to your bars, your temples

[02:25.40] Your massage parlours

[02:28.11] [Anders Glenmark]

[02:28.11] One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

[02:32.36] The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free

[02:36.88] You'll find a god in every golden cloister

[02:41.39] A little flesh, a little history

[02:45.38] I can feel an angel slidin' up to me

[02:49.10] One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

[02:53.35] Not much between despair and ecstasy

[02:57.86] One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

[03:02.38] Can't be too careful with your company

[03:06.36] I can feel the devil walkin' next to me
