Songtexte H-Hour Hotel (1976 Demo) - 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 quarter mast
Well, you're the only decent thing I've seen
In this 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, let's spend the night
Hey, let's spend the night, yeah
Hey, let's spend the night
Hey, let's spend the night together
Hey, let's spend the night
Hey, let's spend the night together, yeah
Hey, let's spend the night
Hey, let's spend the night
Come on, oh-oh, yeah
