I always feel a little reluctance to post this song, in case I offend anyone, so please don't listen if you feel you may be offended by the subject or language.

It probably isn't a very well known Bowie song, being a singles B side.

David Bowie’s "Amsterdam" (a cover of the Jacques Brel song) was primarily released as a B-side in 1973
Sorrow / Amsterdam (1973): The original 7-inch, released on RCA Victor 45rpm in the UK, with the song featuring on the B-side.

Joyce: @alanr Hi Alan.. Great to hear you again.. I've never heard this before. These lyrics could be a feature film- very down to earth. A truly, pro vocal from you and though I can hear Bowie covering this, you made it your own
