Bombay (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1976 Contraband


Bombay seems lost in dreams when the pipes let off steam
In a backroom somewhere anywhere in L.A.
Next payday comes I’ll be gone by boats and planes, it’s pre-arranged
You can’t catch me, I’m on my way back to Bombay


Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay


Bombay, Bombay, ain’t gonna leave no trace
Bombay, Bombay, gonna wash away my face
Bombay, Bombay, in the Bombay river
Bombay, Bombay, I’m gonna settle, I’m gonna stay in Bombay


I’m gonna trade my past for a new life at last
Sit back and have another blast, if I die Kamasutra’s the reason why
Kama kama kama kamasutra
Kama kama kama I surrender, I surrender


Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay


Bombay, Bombay, ain’t gonna leave no trace
Bombay, Bombay, gonna wash away my face
Bombay, Bombay, in the Bombay river
Bombay, Bombay, bom bom bom Bombay
Bombay, Bombay
Bombay, Bombay, I’m gonna settle, I’m gonna stay in Bombay
Bombay, Bombay, bom bom bom bom bom
Bombay, Bombay…
