The Fall - Edinburgh Man lyrics

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
