New Amsterdam

       A00        720        300       A00 
You're sending me tulips, mistaken for lilies,
            720            800         500 
You give me your lip after punching me silly,
A00           720          300             A00 
You turned my head till it rolled down the brain drain,
             720           800              500 
If I had any sense now,  I wouldn't want it back again.

[Chorus]
A00       100        020             A00 
New Amsterdam,  it's become much too much,
                100           020            A00 
Will I have the possession of everything she Touches,
                   100          020        A00 
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches
                   100        020         A00 
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?

Down on the mainspring,  listen to the tick tock,
Clock all the faces that move in on your biock,
Twice shy and dog tired because you've been bitten,
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost written.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
700                                  000           700 
Like, in London, they'll take you to heart after a little while,
                                     300          500      
Though I look right at home, I still feel like an exile

Somehow I found myself down at the dockside,
Thinking about the old days of Liverpool and Rotherhithe,
Transparent people who live on the other side,
Living a life that is almost like suicide,

[Chorus]
