Murray Head
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 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 Songwriters: Tim Rice/Benny Goran Bror Andersson/Bjoern K.

What'll you do when you get lonely And nobody's waiting by your side? You've been running and hiding much too long. You know it's just your foolish pride. Layla, you've got me on my knees. Layla, I'm begging, darling please. Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind. I tried to give you consolation When your old man had let you down. Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down. Layla, you've got me on my knees. Layla, I'm begging, darling please. Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind. Let's make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane. Please don't say I'll never find a way And tell me all my love's in vain. Layla, you've got me on my knees. Layla, I'm begging, darling please. Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind. Layla, you've got me on my knees. Layla, I'm begging, darling please. Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

While I'm far away from you my baby I know it's hard for you my baby Because it's hard for me my baby And the darkest hour is just before dawn Each night before you go to bed my baby Whisper a little prayer for me my baby And tell all the stars above This is dedicated to the one I love (Love can never be exactly like we want it to be) I could be satisfied knowing you love me (And there's one thing I want you to do) (Especially for me) And it's something that everybody needs While I'm far away from you my baby Whisper a little prayer for me my baby Because it's hard for me my baby And the darkest hour is just before dawn If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me Then it's something that everybody needs Each night before you go to bed my baby Whisper a little prayer for me my baby And tell all the stars above This is dedicated to the one I love This is dedicated (to the one I love) This is dedicated to the one I love This is dedicated (to the one I love) This is dedicated This is dedicated Songwriters: Lowman Pauling/Ralph Bass Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, Carlin America Inc

There's nothin' you can do to turn me away Nothin' anyone can say You're with me now and as long as you stay Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing I know you've had some bad luck with ladies before They drove you or you drove them crazy But more important is I know you're the one and I'm sure Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing And it used to be for a while That the river flowed right to my door Making me just a little too free But now the river doesn't seem to stop here anymore Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers Set me movin' to your sweetest song And I know what I think I've known all along Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing Lovin' you's the right thing to do Is the right thing Nothing you could ever do would turn me away from you I love you now and I love you now Even though you're ten thousand miles away I'll love you tomorrow as I love you today I'm in love babe I'm in love with you babe.

The first thing I remember I was lying in my bed I couldn't of been no more Than one or two I remember there's a radio Comin' from the room next door And my mother laughed The way some ladies do When it's late in the evening And the music's seeping through The next thing I remember I am walking down the street I'm feeling all right I'm with my boys I'm with my troops, yeah And down along the avenue Some guys were shooting pool And I heard the sound Of a cappella groups, yeah Singing late in the evening And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah Then I learned to play some lead guitar I was underage in this funky bar And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J" And when I came back to the room Everybody just seemed to move And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play And it was late in the evening And I blew that room away The first thing I remember When you came into my life I said I'm gonna get that girl No matter what I do Well I guess I'd been in love before And once or twice I been on the floor But I never loved no one The way that I loved you And it was late in the evening And all the music seeping through Songwriters: Paul Simon Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

Now that we love Now that the lonely nights are over How do we make love stay? Now that we know The fire can burn bright or merely smolder How do we keep it from dying away? Elusive as dreams Barely remembered in the morning Love like a phantom flies But held in the heart It pales like the emply smile adorning A statue with sightless eyes Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture When precious flesh is greedily consumed But mystery's a thing not easily captured And once deceased not easily exhumed Now that we love Now that the lonely nights are over How do we make love stay? Now that we loved Look at the moonless night and tell me How do we make love stay? Songwriters: Dan Fogelberg Make Love Stay lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

Hey have you ever tried Really reaching out for the other side? I may be climbing on rainbows But baby, here goes Dreams are for those who sleep Life is for us to keep And if you're wondering what this song is leading to, I want to make it with you I really think that we could make it, girl Though you don't know me well And every little thing only time will tell If you believe the things that I do, And we'll see it through Life can be short or long Love can be right or wrong And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through I'd like to make it with you I really think that we could make it, girl Baby you know that dreams there for those who sleep Life is for us to keep And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through I'd like to make it with you I really think that we could make it, girl Songwriters: David Ashworth Gates Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

Our grasp is so fragile the thread is so thin I wonder each day if I'm blowing away I know that I'm lucky I wouldn't be here at all if somebody's hand Hadn't been where I stand At the edge of a very great fall And like a lighthouse before you at the edge of the sea The woman whose grip holds when you slip But the darkness won't get you Your family won't go They will make your heart light To where you know what is right And you go where you know you should go And it's life and it's dying It's beginnings and end It's what did you do With the life they gave you? It's were you the honest, and Did you make amends To all the ones under your guns How have you treated your friends Words: David Crosby Lyrics © 1998 Stay Straight Music (BMI), Peeved Music (BMI), Proudfoot Music (ASCAP)

I was waiting all alone last night When they canceled all remaining flights And I was suddenly aware, I was being so unfair To turn and run from you again So I called you on the telephone And I said hey girl I'm coming home Cause I know my words were cruel And that I acted like a fool But I'm gonna make it all up to you And I don't care what people say Cause I'm gonna love you night & day Oh baby if you still want me Still need me, all you gotta do is let me Walk right up to your door I'm makin' my way back to Chicago I'm makin' my way come rain or shine I'm gonna find true love waiting for me I'm gonna make it all work out for good this time Let's go walking by the beach tonight And watch the sun come up on Lake Shore Drive Then I'll take you in my arms And I'll keep you from all harm Cause I know everything is gonna be alright And I don't care what people say Cause I'm gonna love you night & day Oh baby if you still want me Still need me, all you gotta do is let me Just walk right up to your door I'm makin' my way back to Chicago I'm makin' my way come rain or shine I'm gonna find true love waiting for me I'm gonna make it all work out for good this time I'm makin' my way back to Chicago I'm makin' my way come rain or shine I'm gonna find true love waiting for me I'm gonna make it all work out for good Know it's understood I'm coming home to stay this time Songwriters: Dennis Deyoung Back to Chicago lyrics © BMG Rights Management US, LLC
