Prostitution in Amsterdam

Being a harbor city, Amsterdam has a long tradition of strong presence of prostitution. Memorized in numerous books, films and songs, nightlife of Amsterdam has been historically one of its biggest attractions. A classic song by a French-Belgium Jacques Brel “Amsterdam”, describes a night in the city with women and alcohol, where sailors are the main clients. Not many sailors today, but every evening tourists are flocking to the Red Light District. And if they would not visit the working girls, the whole area would not exist.

"Amsterdam"


Come on, oh 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 the edge, 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 the noose
And you came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose

Amsterdam - Imagine Dragons

The band Imagine Dragons did one of the most popular songs that talk about this city, is very funny because they are an American alternative rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada and all people think "WHY A NORTH ARMERICAN BAND DOES A SONG TALKING OF THE OTHER CITY?" but the reason is in the song... Amsterdam could be the city for scape of the reality...
