Notell Hotel - 10cc

I checked into the room and I checked the view

And then I locked and chained the door

I had time to kill I had space to fill

Like a prisoner on the floor

But then the silence broke, there’s a woman

Screaming down the hall

And I wondered what was going on

Here at the no tell Hotel

So I killed the light and I slipped the chain

Took a peek into the hall

I was just in time to see the waiter trip

And drop the dinner on the floor

But the Bellboy smiled as the elevator started to fall

And I wondered what was going on

Down at the no tell Hotel

Oh, I love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)

Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see

Oh, how I love a mystery (turned up raincoats)

Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue

At a rendezvous

I heard the sound of feet and I looked out to

Meet a girl I knew I’d seen before

She had the kind of looks, you see in dirty books

And she was dripping on the floor

She was taking a shower when someone tiptoed in

And turned out the lights

It’s gonna be one of those nights

Down at the no tell Hotel

I took her into my room and picked the lock on the bar

To get a drink to calm her down

Then the mirror cracked as the window shook

And the table turned around

And when I grabbed at the phone

There was a voice at the end of the line

«Is that 1059?

Is anything wrong, Is there anything wrong»

Here at the no tell Hotel

Oh, I love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)

Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see

Oh, how I love a mystery (turned up raincoats)

Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue

At a rendezvous
