USVirgin Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 They were potential chess competition venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Surely this belongs in the Bored Bar ? Again, I implore my fellow board members to avoid the use of 'all caps' in post titles, as it signifies something of importance or urgency - I see neither characteristic in this case.

robaus Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 For song lyrics just grab a few words with or without "" marks enclosing a few key words plus the word lyrics and Google it Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok Bangkok; oriental city â?? But the city donâ??t know what the city has kept; The crem de la crem of the chess world in a show with everything, but Yul Brynner. Time flies - Doesnâ??t seem a minute since the Tyrolean spa had the chess-boards in it. All change â?? Donâ??t you know that when you play at this level, itâ??s no ordinary venue: Itâ??s Iceland, or the Phillipines, or Hastings, orâ?¦ or this place! One night in Bangkok, and the worldâ??s your oyster! The bars are temples, but the bills ainâ??t free. Youâ??ll find a god in every golden cloister! And, if youâ??re lucky, then the godâ??s a she. I can feel an angel slidinâ?? up to me. One townâ??s very like another one â?? Your headâ??s down over your pieces, brother. Itâ??s a drag â?? itâ??s a bore to be lookinâ?? at the board, not lookinâ?? at the city. Whaddaya mean? Youâ??ve seen one crowded, polluted, stinking townâ?¦ ************ Get tied! Youâ??re talkinâ?? to a tourist whose every moveâ??s among the purest. I get my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine. One night in Bangkok make a hard man humble! Not much between despair and ecstasy. One night in Bangkok, and the tough guys tumble! Canâ??t be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walkinâ?? next to me. Siamâ??s Goanna be the witness to the ultimate test of cerebral fitness. This grips me more than would a muddy old river or reclining Buddah. Thank God Iâ??m only watching the game â?? controlling it. I donâ??t see you guys waging the kind of mate Iâ??m contemplating. Iâ??d let you watch - I would invite you, But the queens we use would not excite you. So youâ??d better go back to your bars, your temples â?¦Your â??massageâ?? parlorsâ?¦ One night in Bangkok, and the worldâ??s your oyster! The bars are temples, but the bills ainâ??t free. Youâ??ll find a god in every golden cloister! A little fresh, a little history. I can feel an angel slidinâ?? up to me. One night in Bangkok make a hard man humble! Not much between despair and ecstasy. One night in Bangkok, and the tough guys tumble! Canâ??t be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walkinâ?? next to me.
