When I first visited these shores, it didn't take long for me to become tired of answering the "where you come from" question, first it was England, Liverpool.... it then got "me white man, me come from big metal bird in sky" and eventually lapsed in to "I was born in the wagon of a travelling show"

I still use that one on occasion to be honest, not really relevant to Thailand apart from a personal level, but the puzzled looks it got still make me smirk.... can't beat a good smirk.

Pataya, Pattaya by Lou Deprijck

"Life in Pattaya inspired him to rewrite the text of his most famous song Kingston, Kingston into Pattaya, Pattaya, which soon became the unofficial hymn of Pattaya."

Thanks for that ... I've not seen it before ... thumbsup.gif

After some careful deliberation and with all due respect to my old friend Roger

Hodgson & his song Take the Long Way Home which describes my life to a "T"

because I'm still on that road & may never leave it...Heaven forbid!

I have finally decided that 2 songs may have been written with Thailand in

mind....however...I kinda doubt it...although these two songs; one theme

song and one "proper" song, fit this fine nation and all it's denizens;

both foreign & domestic, perfectly.

Just keep the first song, take out a lotta db, playing under the second song

for full effect and you should get the message...

This song is brilliant and one of my all time favourites,it wasn't until recently listening carefully to the lyrics,how effortlessly it fitted in with Songs written with Thailand in mind!

"Some Songs were written with Thailand in Mind!"

And some with Thai farang in mind.

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye

Your scarf it was apricot

You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte

And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner

They'd be your partner, and...

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you

You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you? Don't You?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive

Well you said that we made such a pretty pair

And that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me

I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee, and...

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee, and...

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won

Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia

To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well you're where you should be all the time

And when you're not you're with

Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend

Wife of a close friend, and...

....and was the song about Mick Jagger or Warren Beatty??

Dead Kennedys "Police Truck"

Tonight's the night that we got the truck

We're goin' downtown gonna beat up drunks

Your turn to drive I'll bring the beer

It's the late, late shift no one to fear

And ride, ride how we ride

We ride, lowride

It's roundup time where the good whores meet

Gonna drag one screaming off the street

And ride, ride how we ride

Got a black uniform and a silver badge

Playin' cops for real/playin' cops for pay

Let's ride, lowride

Pull down your dress here's a kick in the ass

Let's beat you blue 'til you shit in your pants

Don't move, child got a big black stick

There's six of us babe, so suck on my dick

And ride, ride how we ride

Let's ride, lowride

The left newspapers might whine a bit

But the guys at the station they don't give a shit

Dispatch calls "Are you doin' something wicked?"

"No siree, Jack, we're just givin' tickets"

As we ride, ride, how we ride

Let's ride, lowride

Maybe somebody can relate to this .

LONG JOHN BALDRY A THRILL'S A THRILL LYRICS

Take a hard look around you, babe,
There ain't nobody got it made
So you can live in your head
Or you can live in your heart
But if you don't live at all
Then why the hell did you start ?
Thrill's a thrill
I said a thrill's a thrill
Even in paradise
A thrill's a thrill.
Now the young boys are all hanging out in the bars,
Old men they don't have to cruise all night in cars.
And those young girls love the smell of flowers,
Old women love to play with them for hours.
Gays are straight -
And straights are weird
The bi's just call
Everybody 'dear'.
You know a thrill's a thrill
I said a thrill's a thrill
Even in paradise.
I said a thrill's a thrill.
Down to get up -
Yeah, up to get down.
Oh, I will try anything
If it makes my head go round.
Leather whips
And nitro sniffs
I know a boy who is growing,tits
A thrill's a thrill
A thrill's a thrill
Even in paradise
I said a thrill's a thrill.
Take a hard look around you, baby,
Ain't nobody got it made.
You can live in your head,
You can live in your heart
And if you don't live at all
Then why the hell did you start ?
A thrill's a thrill
A thrill's a thrill
Even in paradise
I said a thrill's a thrill.
I said a thrill's a thrill.
I said a thrill's a thrill.
A thrill's ...

Cold Play - Yellow smile.png

A favourite of mine... thumbsup.gif

Your skin,

Oh yeah your skin and bones,

Turn into

Something beautiful,

And you know,

For you I'd bleed myself dry,

For you I'd bleed myself dry.

As for Songs ... I've got a few more in mind myself.

Back a bit later.

Did Morrissey ever build a house in the boonies guitar.gif


Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

Nirvana - About A Girl

I need an easy friend
I do, With an ear to lend
I do, Think you fit this shoe
I do, But DO you have a clue?

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night. Free
...I do

I'm standing in your line
I do, Hope you have the time
I do, Pick up number two
I do, Keep a date with you

(You're not a kid anymore)
(You're not a kid anymore)

When people ask of me
What would you like to be
Now that your not a kid anymore
(You're not a kid anymore)

I know just what to say
I answer right away
There's just one thing
I've been wishing for...

I want to be a meu chow
I want to be a meu chow
That's the most important thing to me...

And if I were a meu chow
If I were a meu chow
What a unfaithful, ungrateful girl I'd be

Each night I sit at home
Hoping that a farang will phone
But I know all the farang have gone to the bar
(You're not a kid anymore)

Still in my heart I pray
There soon will come the day
When I will have a farang all to myself...

I want to be a meu chow
I want to be a meu chow
That's the most important thing to me...

And if I was a meu chow
If I was a meu chow
What a unfaithful, ungrateful girl I'd be
What a unfaithful, ungrateful girl I'd be
