Hotel...

Just back from a week in a hotel, on a business trip. A bit worn down, the alarm went off at 3:30am to make a 6:00am flight; that's 2:30am now that I'm back on central time... Anyway, the whole thing reminds me of a Brian Protheroe song from 1976, nice and obscure, just how I like 'em! I remember ALMOST buying the album this is on at "Head's Together" on vinyl, but passing because I was really looking for "Pinball".... I must admit I'm not 100% sure of the fisrt line, but that's how it sounds to me.....

Hotel - Celibitize, leading the gold line
Hotel - High ball for one, away from the sunshine
Hotel - Bellboy caress while you guess the language
Hotel - He get the bread and you get the sandwich

Hotel - Scuttling maids, crisp and delightful
Hotel - Linen to change wet from the nightfall
Hotel - Sister Louise in with the bedpan
Hotel - I’m on my knees trying to look deadpan

Hotel - Look here I am, here I am
Hotel - Telling the time eating the jam
Look here I am…

Hotel - There in the room I saw Solome
Hotel - Asked her to dance she didn’t know me
Hotel - Smiling, I lied I have a penny
Hotel - Sorry she sighed, I haven’t any

Hotel - Look here I am, here I am
Hotel - Telling the time eating the jam
Look here I am…

Hotel – Sit by the wall watching the TV
Hotel – Man on the screen says he can see me
Hotel - Silent he lies behind a rainbow
Hotel – What a surprise we’re in the same show

Hotel - Look here I am, here I am
Hotel - Telling the time eating the jam
Look here I am…
