Lyrics - Edinburgh Man by Fall

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[
A quarter-gill is
British slang for a double measure --
Ed.]
