Heart of Lothian by Marillion (Video & Lyrics)

Als ich Euch vor anderthalb Monaten etwas über das Heart of Lothian erzählte, war mir der Gedanke dazu natürlich nicht aus heiterem Himmel eingegeben worden, sondern diente sozusagen als Einleitung für den jetzt anstehenden Song aus Marillions Album Misplaced Childhood.

Heart of Lothian ist ein Zweiteiler, bestehend aus:
I. Wide Boy und
II. Curtain Call.

Und damit kann es losgehen:




Lyrics Heart of Lothian by Marillion

I. Wide Boy
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.

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 ...
