Biografía:
Murray Head empezó su carrera en los años setenta trabajando en la música de películas como Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) mientras grababa al mismo tiempo un musical de Jesucristo Superstar, trabajando con el por aquel entonces desconocido equipo de Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice. La canción Superstar caló bien en los Estados Unidos llegando a estar en el Top 20 algunas semanas. Espoleado por ese éxito Murray Head se embarcó en un disco en solitario llamado Nigel Lived (1972) que tenía un poco habitual formato de disco-diario.

[Verse 1]
Dm
Bangkok, Oriental setting
C/D Dm
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
C/D Dm Gm7
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
Dm
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
C/D Dm
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
C/D Dm
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
Gm7
It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --
A7b9
or this place!
[Chorus 1]
Dm Bb F C/E Dm
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
Gm C Gm7
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
Dm Bb F C/E Dm
You'll find a god in every gol-den cloister
Gm C Gm7
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
Dm Gm C Dm
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
[Verse 2]
Dm
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
Gm7 Dm
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
Gm7 A7b9
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
[Chorus 2]
Dm Bb F C/E Dm
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Gm C Gm7
Not much between despair and ecstasy
Dm Bb F C/E Dm
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Gm C Gm7 Dm
Can't be too careful with your company
Gm C Dm
I can feel the devil walking next to me
[Solo]
A7 for 8 bars
[Verse 3]

Muddy old river or reclining Buddha | Synths plays this for the 3rd verse

And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --
Dm
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
Gm7
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage

parlours
[Chorus 3]

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
