Spoken intro was supposed to be in Dutch , but Dutch speakers proved to be a little thin on the ground.Our engineers girlfriend came to our rescue. She spoke fluent German and we, with spectacular disregard for all things foriegn, decided it was close enough.
lyrics
Dutchman is watching
From the corner of his eye
It's not that I mind so much
It's the gun he's waving high
Try not to look too good
When you go to Amsterdam
Check your wallet
Forge your passport
Backs against the wall
Day or night
Over in Holland
It's so strange
The ladies
Will make ours look tame
Over in Holland
It's so strange
It's the language
That will throw you
To the nearest dyke
Like a lion tamer
Holding up his chair
Goodbye
So thier claws
Dont rip you apart
Please dont get involved
Or put your head in thier mouths
You'll be turned into a cheese
Over in Holland
It's so strange
The ladies
Will make ours look tame
Over in Holland
Its so strange
Naked light flicks on my face
Awakes me from a dream
Flickering images cross my pillow
Memory comes clean
I turn and see
The long black hair
Cascading down my spine
I bark and snap
But she wont move
Is she dead or alive
Save my life
Over in Holland
It's so strange
The ladies
Will make ours look tame
Over in Holland
It's so strange
Mention Germans
And you'll be directed to THe Hague
A Flemish facade surrounds thier lives
Visions turning vague
Prostitutes and drud rings
In the Kirkstraat Boxing Fair
Sell thier wares
And sell thier mothers
Everlasting heart
Over in Holland
It's so strange
The ladies
Will make ours look tame
Over in Holland
It's so strange
