[00:00.00]Amsterdam - David Bowie
[00:01.96]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who sings
[00:09.42]Of the dreams that he brings from the wide open sea
[00:17.62]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who sleeps
[00:25.40]While the river bank weeps to the old willow tree
[00:32.97]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who dies
[00:41.13]Full of beer full of cries in a drunken town fight
[00:48.20]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who's born
[00:54.80]On a hot muggy morn by the dawn's early light
[01:07.97]In the port of Amsterdam where the sailors all meet
[01:12.87]There's a sailor who eats only fish heads and tails
[01:18.02]And he'll show you his teeth that have rotted too soon
[01:23.13]That can haul up the sails that can swallow the moon
[01:28.07]And he yells to the cook with his arms open wide
[01:33.00]"Hey bring me more fish throw it down by my side"
[01:38.46]And he wants so to belch but he's too full to try
[01:43.50]So he stands up and laughs and he zips up his fly
[01:48.64]In the port of Amsterdam you can see sailors dance
[01:53.82]Paunches bursting their pants grinding women to porch
[01:58.93]They've forgotten the tune that their whiskey voice croaked
[02:04.42]Splitting the night with the roar of their jokes
[02:09.29]And they turn and they dance and they laugh and they lust
[02:14.52]Till the rancid sound of the accordion bursts
[02:19.59]And then out of the night with their pride in their pants
[02:24.84]And the sluts that they tow underneath the street lamps
[02:30.06]In the port of Amsterdam there's a sailor who drinks
[02:35.13]And he drinks and he drinks and he drinks once again
[02:40.25]He'll drink to the health of the w***es of Amsterdam
[02:45.34]Who've given their bodies to a thousand other men
[02:49.94]Yeah they've bargained their virtue their goodness all gone
[02:55.52]For a few dirty coins well he just can't go on
[03:00.77]Throws his nose to the sky and he aims it up above
[03:05.77]And he pisses like I cry on the unfaithful love
[03:11.03]In the port of Amsterdam
[03:13.50]In the port of Amsterdam
