Heart of Lothian: Wide Boy / Curtain Call - Marillion

Wide boys, wide boys, wide boys,

Born with hearts of Lothian

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

Spray their pheromones on this perfume uniform.

And anarchy smiles in the Royal Mile

And they’re waiting on the slyboys, flyboys, wideboys

Rooting, tooting cowboys

Lucky little ladies at the watering holes

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.
