Amsterdam is the final song on the 2nd studio album from Coldplay, A Rush of Blood to the Head. A live version has also been released on the Live 2003 dvd and cd set.

Chris Martin has said in an interview that the song was given its name purely because that was where the song was written. Not because of any other reasons connected with the City.

Lyrics

Come on, my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
If I, if I’d only waited
I’d not be stuck here in this hole

Come here, oh my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I’ve got to get out of this hole

But time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
It’s no cause for concern

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I’m dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath

And time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around, no
It’s no cause for concern

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I’m on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won’t change a thing
I’m sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
She came along and she cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
