Haarlem (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦaːr.lɛm] ( listen), formerly referred to as Harlem in the English language) is a municipality and a city in the Netherlands. It is the capital of the province of North Holland, the northern half of Holland, which at one time was the most powerful of the seven provinces of the Dutch Republic. Haarlem lies in the northern part of the Randstad, one of the largest metropolitan areas in Europe.
By the end of 2011 Haarlem had a total population of 151,853. The municipality of Haarlem also comprises part of the village of Spaarndam, a newer housing estate of this village forms part of the neighboring municipality of Haarlemmerliede en Spaarnwoude.
The city is located on the river Spaarne, about 20 km west of Amsterdam and near the coastal dunes. It has been the historical center of the tulip bulb-growing district for centuries and bears the nickname 'Bloemenstad' (flower city), for this reason.
Haarlem has a rich history dating back to pre-medieval times, as it lies on a thin strip of land above sea level known as the strandwal (beach ridge), which connects Leiden to Alkmaar. The people on this narrow strip of land struggled against the waters of the North Sea from the west, and the waters of the IJ and the Haarlem Lake from the east. Haarlem was able to become wealthy with toll revenues that it collected from ships and travellers moving on this busy North-South route. However, as shipping became increasingly important economically, the city of Amsterdam became the main Dutch city of North Holland during the Dutch Golden Age. The town of Halfweg became a suburb, and Haarlem became a quiet bedroom community, and for this reason, Haarlem still has many of its central medieval buildings intact. Today many of them are on the Dutch Heritage register known as Rijksmonuments. The list of Rijksmonuments in Haarlem gives an overview of these per neighborhood, with the majority in the old city center.

I've been looking for someone like you
You look cool and I like your walk
Well I had a pet before
I still got a lock of her hair in my pocket
I'm just fucking with your passenger
Could you keep your headlights out of my eyes
I think you're beautiful and very smart
I've been looking for someone like you
I think you're cool and I think we should talk
Well I had a pet before
I still got a lock of her hair in my pocket
I'm just fucking with your passenger
Could you keep your headlights out of my eyes
I just want to be your baby
I don't mean maybe
I just want to be your baby
If I could be your darlin'
You've gotta stop fallin'
For all the bullshit I give you
Drag it hard from A to B
Play guitar from G to C
Write a song about how much you hate me
Call me up
At the hotel
Me and the band
Gonna wish you well
I say hi there
You say we're through
Do I change your mind
Or do I change my tune?
I just wanna be your baby
I don't mean maybe
I just wanna be your baby
If I could be your darlin'
I just gotta start fallin'
You smell like a flower
That hasn't been invented
You gave me a camera
So I could take your picture
I met the girl of my dreams
Down in new orleans
You smell like a flower
That hasn't been invented
You gave me a camera
So I could take your picture
I met the girl of my dreams
She's down in new orleans
Do I look like some trick
No I don't care what you think
About me
Cuz I've been here since sunset
Tell me
Where were you
I won't look at you ever again
I won't look at you ever again
I won't look at you ever again
Drivin' in the south of France
And I'm blastin' Abba
Moroccan guy askin me
A sensual question
Lookin' at the beach
It's a shame
That it's a-rainin'
I wish I could take a swim
Instead I'm stuck in a cab with a stranger
Drank last night and I feel like shit
I hate every book I've ever read
Take back the words I never said
I need somewhere to rest my head
I'm lookin' for a big old, big old med
Two years later I'm back in the same town
This time I brought my girlfriend
We fought at the beach and slept at a ?
We told each other it was the end
All the girls on the beach all topless and tan
Real pretty bodies what would they taste like, man
I wish I was different
More like Duvall (?)
But every time I try I realize I can't
I hear a party and ?
I can hear all of them ?
Ever wait four years ?
I'm just gonna wait for the next day
Next day I wake up
I drink coffee
And I go for a walk around town
Buy some drugs off a street man
Go back hotel
Lie back down
I'm thinkin' there's a gas leak in my room
I'm on drugs
I'm freakin' out
Do I call the ? and tell him
Or do I just go back to sleep
I hate every book I've ever read
Take back the words you never said
I need somewhere to rest my head
I'm gonna watch the sun
Watch until I go blind
It's gonna burn my skin too
But not quite like you do
I know there's something evil under your pretty face
I know that you're keepin' lies under your wicked tongue, too
And I heard from one of your girls
You're gettin' rid of me anyway
I hope it's not today
Cuz I'm comin' down to see ya
Why do you torture me girl?
Why do you torture me?
Why do you torture me girl?
Why do you torture me?
My friends say I'm a fool and that my head's full of shit
I know that it's not true
Ain't got a thing to do with it
You locked my heart in shackles
Hid the keys in your cat food
Now I'm sick as a dog
I don't think that we're gonna make it
Why do you torture me girl?
Why do you torture me?
Why do you torture me girl?
Why do you torture me?
Why do you torture me girl?
Why do you torture me girl?
Why do you torture me girl?

I had my heart broken
It was broken in two
And if I had my heart broken
I bet it was broken by you.
I wrote you a letter
But I didn't have a stamp
Threw it in the garbage can
Address the tram.
And I lost my heart
I lost my heart
I had my heart broken
It was broken in two
And if I had my heart broken
I bet it was broken by you.
I went to your wedding
When I fumed off there
Said "Is something wrong?"
Now I'm in jail.
And I lost my heart
I lost my heart
I love all the people
Most of all I love you
I love all the people
Most of all I love you
I love all the people
Most of all I love you
I love all the people
Most of all I love you
But I don't know how you can be so dumb

It was broken in two
