來自英國影視藝人Murray Head (born 5 March 1946)因早期主演的影片Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971)獲得奧斯卡提名而被眾影迷所追捧!之後出版的專輯Say It Ain't So (1975)更是完美體現了他的音樂天賦!而他的那首One Night In Bangkok至今仍是曲中極品
One Night in Bangkok (B. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus / T. Rice)
THE AMERICAN:
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!
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 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 better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours --
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
