Where I was born ev`rything was dull and dingy
I lived in a place they called “The Inner City”
Getting ahead was strictly a no no
‘Cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
That live in the ghetto
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It`s a challenge just staying alive
`Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive

Money I ain`t got none, job can`t find one
The streets raised me from a baby, ooh
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It`s a challenge just staying alive
`Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive

Broken down homes, kids strung out
They don`t even know what life`s all about
Stealin` cars, robbin` bars
Mugging, drugs, rat infested
And no one`s interested

Kids dodging cars for recreation
Only adds to a mother`s frustration
Break-ins, folks comin` home
And finding all their possessions gone
Oh it`s an ev`ry day thing – well well – in the ghetto
Oh it`s an ev`ry day thing in the ghetto

 

 

I heat up, I can’t cool down
You got me spinnin’
‘Round and ‘round
‘Round and ‘round and ‘round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows

Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin’ flame
Burnin’ flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burnin’ for your love
With the touch of a velvet glove

Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel’s face

I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
Just when I think I’m gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

Abra-abra-cadabra
I want to reach out and grab ya
Abra-abra-cadabra
Abracadabra

Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burnin’ flame
Burnin’ flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

I heat up, I can’t cool down
My situation goes ‘round and ‘round
I heat up, I can’t cool down
My situation goes ‘round and ‘round
I heat up, I can’t cool down
My situation goes ‘round and ‘round

Leavin’ home, out on the road
I’ve been down before
Ridin’ along on this big ol’ jet plane
I’ve been thinkin’ about my home

But my love light seems so far away
And I feel like it’s all been done
Somebody’s tryin’ to make me stay
You know I’ve got to be movin’ on

Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
‘Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I’ve trusted
I’ve got to go out and make my way
I might get rich, you know I might get busted

But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin’ high, I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven

Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
‘Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay

Touchin’ down in New England town
Feel the heat comin’ down
I’ve got to keep on keepin’ on
You know the big wheel keeps us spinnin’ around

And I’m goin’ with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don’t want to get caught up in any of that
Funky kicks goin’ down in the city

Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
‘Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay

Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
‘Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
‘Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay

Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh oh, big ol’ jet airliner
‘Cause it’s there that I belong

La bellissima colonna sonora del film “Quasi Amici”

One Night in Bangkok è una canzone incisa dall’attore e cantante britannico Murray Head nel 1984 e scritta per il musical Chess. La musica è stata composta dagli ex componenti del gruppo ABBA, Björn Ulvaeus e Benny Andersson, mentre il testo è di Tim Rice. La voce principale dei cori è del compositore svedese Anders Glenmark.

Il testo, eseguito quasi in forma di rap da Murray Head, è una ironica denuncia contro la corruzione morale della città di Bangkok, contrapposta alla esaltazione della valenza intellettuale del gioco degli scacchi.

La canzone contiene numerosi riferimenti alla città di Bangkok, dal «muddy old river» (il “vecchio fiume fangoso”, ovvero il Chao Phraya), al «reclining Buddha» (la gigantesca statua del Buddha disteso all’interno del tempio Wat Pho), fino a citare l’attore Yul Brynner (che interpreta il Re del Siam nel film Il re ed io, del 1956).
