10cc - Notell Hotel

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 Notell 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 Notell Hotel 

 Ooh, I love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)
 Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see
 Ooh, 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 Notell 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 Notell Hotel 

 Ooh, I love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)
 Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see
 Ooh, how I love a mystery (turned up raincoats)
 Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue
 at a rendezvous
