On a dark deserted shore, cool wind in my hair. : Warm smell of colitas, rising up to the air.       : up ahead in a distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night : There she stood in the doorway, I heard a mission bell And I was thinking to myself This could be Heaven or this could be Hell : Then she lit up a candle : And she showed me the way there were voices down the corridors, I thought I heard them say : Welcome to the Hotel in Tortuga : such a lovely place (such a lovely place) such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel in Tortuga Anytime of year (anytime of year), you can find it here.   : Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got a nice ship class eight : She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boyz, she calls friends : How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat : Some dance to remember, some dance to forget. : So I called up the captain : "please bring me my wine" : he said : "We haven't had that spirit here since 599" And still those voices coming from far away... : wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say : Welcome to the Hotel in Tortuga such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Such a lovely face. : They're living it up at the Hotel in Tortuga What a nice surprise
Bring your alibies Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device : And in the master's chamber, they gathered for the feast : They stab it with there steely knives : But they just can't kill the beast    : Last thing I remember, : I was running for the door I have to find a passage back to the place I was before. : Relax said the nightman : we are programmed to receive : You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave !   Ouf, finished. Tribute to the Eagles and the wonderful "Hotel California" This is a subject on which I was struggling for a long time, I'm pretty happy on how it turned. C&C welcome as usual. Even if I didn't count the footprint, I'm pretty sure it will fit for a large property, but a large property of what ?? I will think about this, but that was not the goal. This succession of builds was to try some technic for the walls, the floors, etc, etc. And when I decided to mimic the Hotel California song, I must confess that the most difficult stuff to build was... this f**cking double shafted guitar played by Don Felder   To my surprise, the member of the band were pretty easy to mimic : : Henley : Frey : Leadon : Walsh and : Felder
