WV125
Murray Head
"One Night in Bangkok"




Extended Instrumental Opening "Bangkok" performed by London Symphony Orchestra

Lyrics

[Murray Head as Freddie Trumper, the American Chess Grandmaster]
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The crème de la crème of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tyrolean 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 for this place!

[Anders Glenmark as Ensemble]
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

[Ensemble]
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

[Ensemble]
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

[Ensemble]
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

[Ensemble]
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​

 

[esc87fan]

So happy my favorite in the NF won, the song is in my personal music collection and I actually sent it to the Numbers spin-off a while back

Best of luck, I hope this gets through to the final!

 

[Eulaliya]

A celebration for Mr. Freddie Trumper into the final (as well as Mr. Anatoly Sergievsky a few editions ago)! Many thanks for making this possible! Chess the musical rules!
As a celebration, here's the live West End show of Bangkok and One Night in Bangkok:

WV126 Pentangle NF

Greetings and welcome to our second NF! I was going to present a folk-rock NF of different bands, but in the end I ended up picking only one because there is something about them that holds them a special place in my heart: their eclectic mix of folk with jazz and rock among other genres, and the best of all, the sweet nightingale voice of Jacqui McShee.
Without further ado here they are:

Lady of Carlisle

Cruel Sister

Pentangling

Willy O'Winsbury

Rain and Snow
