Misheard Lyrics: But the city don't know what the city has got
... All change, don't you know that when you Play at this level at no ordinary venue ... The bars are temples but their pulse ain't free You'll find a guard in every golden cloister And if you're lucky, then the guards are she ... You've seen one crowded, epileptic, stinking town "Hey there, small and sweet (Sweet) sun-set Up in the sun-set pulse suite" ... One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble ... One night in Bangkok and the tough guys stumble ... I don't see you guys raping The kind of mate I'm contemplating Original Lyrics: But the city don't know what the city is getting
... All changed, don't you know that when you Play at this level there's no ordinary venue ... The bars are temples but their pearls ain't free You'll find a god in every golden cloister And if you're lucky, then the god's a she ... You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town ... Tea, girls, warm and sweet (sweet) Some are set up In the Somerset Maugham suite ... One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble ... One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble ... I don't see you guys rating The kind of mate I'm contemplating |

Story about this misheard lyric by: Chess Man 1985 This song mentions temples, a reclining Buddha and more. That's history and cultural references there. Therefore I figured that "the ages", a past history was what was being referred to. |
