Hi,

Does anybody can help me on the lyrics of the song "Amsterdam ..." from The
Beautiful South on their latest CD "Bleu is the colour".

Nice greetings

In article <01bc152f$ee625840$72c04ac1@default>, "Marc Van Tricht"

Do you mean "Rotterdam (or Anywhere)"?

In the CD booklet it's in English and what looks like Dutch/Flemish ("En de
vrouwen spelen met hum haar, als om te voelen of het er nog steed is...") ;
which would you prefer?

ROTTERDAM - The Beautiful South


And the women tug their hair
Like they're trying to prove it won't fall out
And all the men are gargoyles
Dipped long in Irish Stout
The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar

(CHORUS:)
This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone

And everyone is blonde
And everyone is beautiful
And when blonde and beautiful are multiple
They become so dull and dutiful
And when faced with dull and dutiful
They fire red warning flares
Battle khaki personality
With red underwear

(CHORUS)

The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar

This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone

(CHORUS)

Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone, alone, alone
Mmmm, this could be Rotterdam
Or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam
