H‐Hour Hotel (1976 demo) Songtext
von Cold Chisel

I been on the run from bar to bar
I been hunchin′ down and movin' fast
These last few days I′ve been so alone
I got my hat pulled down to quartermast
Well you're the only decent thing I've seen
In this whole hotel since Danny died

The loneliness these past few days
Was thick enough to chew
You hit me like a Turkish bath
The minute I came through the door
Baby I′ll break down and cry
If you don′t feel it too

They were gathered round in high-class bars
There was doctors' wives and trendy cokers
And Danny ′n me we went a bit too far
There was one too many smooth stockbrokers
The mob got ugly just like that
And cut him up with butter knives


They threw his carcass in the hall
Then turned their eyes on me
Young Danny was a wild one
A naked threat to all their wives
I had to run to save my skin
And baby here I am

Baby you look good to me
You got clothes like 1984
You got something that they've all forgotten
I said let′s not wait, let's find the door, yeah, come on

This hotel goes on and on
And my only friend′s a sharp coat pocket razor
Well my only love is maybe you
There was one too many navy blazers

Hey lets spend the night
Hey lets spend the night yeah
Hey lets spend the night
Hey lets spend the night, together
Hey lets spend the night
Hey lets spend the night together, yeah
Hey lets spend the night
Hey lets spend the night
Come on, oh-oh, yeah
