High Noon Amsterdam Lyrics

get your black suit on and be a son of a bitch
i need a scratch from the hand of the ass that sold me the itch
it's a big sell out its a big party
high noon amsterdam time and the action is free
ain’t no debutante ball ain’t no sweet sixteen
stuck my nose in the rose in the hole and it smelled like a dream
it's a big sell out it's a big party
high noon amsterdam time and the action is free

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Absolutely gem, surprised no one ever added any song meanings here, so here's my take; The lyrics seem to critique a scene or event that appears glamorous or exciting but underpinned by cynicism, self-interest, and a lack of genuine connection. The repeated references to a “sell out” and a “party” reinforce the idea of celebration masking deeper dissatisfaction or moral compromise. The mention of “high noon” further suggests a moment of truth or confrontation, possibly with oneself or with societal expectations. The tone points toward a satirical or critical view of modern social rituals and the compromises people make to participate in them.
