Hello my gazillion zillion quantimillion followers {genteel bow...manly flick of auburn fringe} .. I was toning my incredibly honed pectorals at the gym this morning when this tune came on my teeny weeny ipod player ...
One night in Bangkok - Murray Head
How cool are these lyrics... and I reckon the musical arrangement is amazing !!!
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
Whattaya mean?!
You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suiteGet
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
Lyric Credits
Good number .... where were you when that was on the billboards? So let us tone it down a bit... maybe you have this hot date tonight... or you have a long distance crush on that hottie in the office...
Take a cue from James ... and let her know that she should 'share the moment'
You're Beautiful - James Blunt
So now you convince her to share the moment .. whoop whoop ... and after a crazy weekend of adult entertainment you turn to another James on Sunday night... exhausted but not quite exhilarated.
James - Laid
Crank it up !! Loud, louder and loudest !!!
Ain't music just great.... almost as great as the end of a long dry January..... so I would love to have shared Tom Rush doing 'Two More Bottles of Wine' ... but I cannot find a copy. Darn , I listened to quite a few really crappy versions reinforcing my view that Country and Western is hard core depressing.
So here's to a wet whistle tomorrow
Martina McBride - Two More Bottles of Wine
I would be eternally grateful if some one could dig up Tom Rush's version of this song. I loved it when I was in my early twenties
Right Steemian's ... have a cracking good weekend and stay safe !!!
