I spent the day in Amsterdam (when I lived in Holland) looking for a digital 4-track and failed in the mission.  I got drunk and walked around like a weirdo.  Later on I wrote this about it.  Another one with "Gordo" so the base-line and lead bit are better than I could do (at the moment).  I like this one but hate my singing.

cool lyrics and nice vibe

Yea Hippies and Amsterdam, Ooo! what to do? 

Really like it, and yes really like the vocal, I know you have plenty of excuses for the drum machine track but I do think it could have been more fitting, like I hear 'the streets of London' going on in the song, and a 'sadder' drum loop might have captured the feel better.
I bet that's Gordon clicking the time! lol I can see him do it!
