Amsterdam - Scott Walker[00:00:00]

In the port of Amsterdam[00:00:09]

There's a sailor who sings[00:00:13]

Of the dreams that he brings[00:00:17]

From the wide open sea[00:00:20]

In the port of Amsterdam[00:00:25]

There's a sailor who sleeps[00:00:28]

While the riverbank weeps[00:00:32]

With the old willow tree[00:00:36]

In the port of Amsterdam[00:00:40]

There's a sailor who dies[00:00:43]

Full of beer full of cries[00:00:46]

In a drunken down fight[00:00:49]

And in the port of Amsterdam[00:00:54]

There's a sailor who's born[00:00:58]

On a muggy hot morn[00:01:02]

By the dawn's early light[00:01:06]

In the port of Amsterdam[00:01:10]

Where the sailors all meet[00:01:13]

There's a sailor who eats[00:01:15]

Only fishheads and tails[00:01:17]

He will show you his teeth[00:01:19]

That have rotted too soon[00:01:21]

That can swallow the moon[00:01:24]

That can haul up the sails[00:01:26]

And he yells to the cook[00:01:28]

With his arms open wide[00:01:30]

Bring me more fish[00:01:32]

Put it down by my side[00:01:34]

Then he wants so to belch[00:01:36]

But he's too full to try[00:01:38]

So he gets up and laughs[00:01:41]

And he zips up his fly[00:01:43]

In the port of Amsterdam[00:01:45]

You can see sailors dance[00:01:47]

Paunches bursting their pants[00:01:49]

Grinding women to paunch[00:01:51]

They've forgotten the tune[00:01:53]

That their whiskey voice croaks[00:01:55]

Splitting the night with the[00:01:57]

Roar of their jokes[00:01:59]

And they turn and they dance[00:02:01]

And they laugh and they lust[00:02:02]

Till the rancid sound of[00:02:04]

The accordion bursts[00:02:06]

Then out to the night[00:02:08]

With their pride in their pants[00:02:10]

With the slut that they tow[00:02:12]

Underneath the street lamps[00:02:14]

In the port of Amsterdam[00:02:16]

There's a sailor who drinks[00:02:18]

And he drinks and he drinks[00:02:19]

And he drinks once again[00:02:21]

He drinks to the health[00:02:23]

Of the whores of Amsterdam[00:02:25]

Who have promised their love[00:02:27]

To a thousand other men[00:02:28]

They've bargained their bodies[00:02:30]

And their virtue long gone[00:02:32]

For a few dirty coins[00:02:34]

And when he can't go on[00:02:36]

He plants his nose in the sky[00:02:38]

And he wipes it up above[00:02:40]

And he pisses like I cry[00:02:41]

For an unfaithful love[00:02:43]

In the port of Amsterdam[00:02:45]

In the port of Amsterdam[00:02:47]
