One way or another, I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha,

One way or another, I'm gonna win ya,

I'm gonna meetcha, meetcha, meetcha, meetcha,

I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna give you the slip,

I'm gonna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya! :hair:

This one works on two levels for me, it doesn't just sum the place up, it's just about the only fuckin' sound that I hear played regularly around the bars that I can possibly listen to!

Fuck it, might as well get this one in before someone else does.

OK, sticking with sailors Jim, here's a Jacques Brel number covered by David Bowie (and I believe John Denver too, if Hefe's out there to confirm that)?.. Written about the Port of Amsterdam, but for me it could so, so, so easily sum up Pattaya!

And here's a re-post (sorry), but it really does give me that Pattaya 'thing' whenever I hear it ... 'Closing time' by Leonard Cohen. :hi:

I was just listening to this track and pretty much every word rang true in summing up Pattaya , even though I've never actually heard it played there .

So what tune sums up Pattaya for you ?

I was taking a last, contemplative stroll along the wind swept shoreline of my home town this afternoon when this song came on the radio. Listening to the words, I looked east out to sea with a knowing grin. A tingle went up my spine when I thought that in 36 hours from now this shit will be going live in Patts.

IT'S SSSSSHOWTIME FOLKS. :hi:

Trade is on the meat rack

Strip joints full

of hunchbacks

Bitches keep bitchin'

Clap keeps itchin'

Ain't no use in prayin'

That's the way it's....

.......

Creeps keep crawlin'

Drunks keep fallin'

Teasers keep teasein'

Holy joes are preachin'

Cops keep bustin'

Hustlers keep hustlin'

Death keeps knockin'

Souls are up for auction

StevieV ~ Dirty Cash :money:

I want your money

I've no excuse, I just want you to use me
Take me and abuse me
I got no taboos, I'll make a trade with you
Do anything you want me to

Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you
Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you

I once had pride, now that's all behind
I want to get rich quick
I want success and all that goes with it
And I'm gonna use my sex

Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you
Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you

I want your money

I'm dirty cash, the one that you asked for
I'm wanted by the rich and the poor
More and more, you just can't reject it
You're the junkie and I inject it
Into your blood stream, it's like a bad dream
Money's the fiend, do you know what I mean

That dirty cash

People are lying in the street
Trying to find somebody to meet
Who'll get them to the top and get them there fast
Trying to get that dirty cash

It doesn't matter, woman or man
Anyone who'll give them a hand
Cash money, that's green
Cold cash, that's the scene

I want your money

I've no excuse, I just want you to use me
Take me and abuse me
I got no taboos, I'll make a trade with you
Do anything you want me to

Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you
Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you
