Lyrics: I used to see you at the Ratskellar Sarcasm of a young feller Tall and mean between the pillars Before you drowned In a Holland town
You were still the muscle man When I saw you in a nether land Alcohol and speed were friends You cycled around in a Holland town
The old pea coat is loose upon your frame Your handshake is strong but you look so short And your face distorts You speak no more of someone to blame
Was it here below the sea levee You set adrift your rock and roll And you got on the dole You lost your love to some clever devil?
I’m sorry to hear about your sister She went too far down in the drain She was trying to dull her pain The North Sea now is so full of twisters
I want to see you at the Royal Al I want to see you with some different pals Don’t want to see you in a Holland town Don’t want to see you in a Holland town
