Lyrics for New Amsterdam by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Get Happy | | Track: | New Amsterdam | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 75 | | | | Lyrics: | you're sending me tulips mistaken for lilies
you give me your lip after punching me
silly
you turn my head till it roll down the brain-drain
if I had any sense now I wouldn't
want it back again
chorus
new amsterdam it's become much too much
'til I have
the possession of everything she touches
'til I step on the brake to get out of her
clutches
'til I speak double dutch to a real double duchess
down on the main spring
listen to the tick-tock
collect all the faces that move in your block
twice-shy and
dog-tied because you've been bitten
everything you say now sounds like it was
ghost-written
chorus
back in london they'll take you to heart after a little
while
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 rotherhide
transparent
people who live on the other side
living a life that is almost like suicide
