HEART OF LOTHIAN

i) WIDE BOY
Wide boys, wide boys, wide boys, born with hearts of Lothian (1) (2)
Wide boys, we were wide boys, born with hearts of Lothian
Wide boys, we were wide boys, these hearts of Lothian.

It’s six o’clock in the tower blocks
Stalagmites of culture shock
And the trippers of the light fantastic, bow down, hoe-down (3) (4)
Spray their pheromones on this perfume uniform. (5)

And anarchy smiles in the Royal Mile (6)
And they’re waiting on the
Slyboys, flyboys, wideboys
Rooting, tooting Cowboys
Lucky little ladies at the watering holes (7)
They’ll score the Friday night goals.

I was born with a heart of Lothian,
I was born with a heart of Lothian
With a heart of Lothian.

I was born with a heart of Lothian,
With a heart of Lothian.

ii) CURTAIN CALL
And the man from the magazine,
Wants another shot of you all curled up
’Cos you look like an actor in a movie shot.
But you’re feeling like a wino in a parking lot,
How did I get in here anyway?
Do we really need a playback of the show?
’Cos the wideboys want to head for the watering holes.
 

Let’s go !

 

And the man in the mirror has sad eyes.
