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 level   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
