Edinburgh Man by Fall, The
Artist: Fall, The
Album: Shift-work
It's springtime but i still miss the streets at dawn
And in the morning walking your bridges home
As i sit and stare at all of england's souls
I tell you something
I wish i was in edinburgh
I don't mind being by myself
Don't wanta be anywhere else
Just wanna be in edinburgh
I wish i was an edinburgh man
You can leave me on the shelf
I'm an edinburgh man myself
I will always give you help
It's summertime but i still miss your skies so clear
Sitting and staring on a beach somewhere
I'll tell you something
I wish i was in edinburgh
Don't give a toss about private wealth
And history just repeats itself
Keep me away from the festival
And just give me a warm quarter-gill*
They say you project yourself
But i'm an edinburgh man myself
It's wintertime and i still see the cobble stones
Clacking over your streets at dawn
I was really poor since i left edinburgh
I'm ok just by myself
Cause our miserable king won't protect us from ourselves
How i wish i was in edinburgh
How i wish i was in edinburgh
I was always in good health
I'm an edinburgh man myself
I will always give you help
I'm an edinburgh man myself
