About

Björn has said that this song was inspired by the Lou Reed song “Modern Dance,” which has the lyrics, “Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam / in a side street near a big canal.”

Amsterdam imagines what it would feel like to be left along by a partner who has gone and done just that.

Amsterdam Lyrics

Baby went to Amsterdam
She put a little money into traveling
Now it's so slow, so slow

Baby went to Amsterdam
Four, five days for the Big Canal
Now it's so slow, so slow

And I was heading up north to a place that I know
Eating well, sleeping well
But still I was way, way out of line
Amsterdam was stuck in my mind

Oh, it's some kind of stupid rule
That you can't ignore
Oh, it's some kind of natural fact
Sometimes you're just left to be alone

Baby went to Amsterdam
She put a little money into traveling
Now it's so slow, so slow

Baby went to Amsterdam
Four, five days for the Big Canal
Now it's so slow, so slow

And I got to go away to a place of my own
Working hard, fill my time
From that day on, till I hit the bed
Amsterdam was stuck in my head

Oh, it's some kind of stupid rule
That you can't ignore
Oh, it's some kind of natural fact
Sometimes you're just left to be alone

Baby went to Amsterdam
She put a little money into traveling
Now it's so slow, so slow

Baby went to Amsterdam
Four, five days for the Big Canal
Now it's so slow, so slow

Baby went to Amsterdam
She put a little money into traveling
Now it's so slow, so slow

Baby went to Amsterdam
Four, five days for the Big Canal
Now it's so slow, so slow, slow
