yeah
Yeah I’m out New Orleans.
Now I’m on a mission.
To get to Borlands
Darts and television
I’m the new Proclaimer
A long lost brother
We got the same mother
(Yeah, she had a secret lover)
I used to dodge the tossers
Over in Glenrothes
Right there near Kirkcaldy
They never found the bodies
Then I moved to Embra
Down Halmyre Street
Mice in the kitchen, mice in the pantry
Cruising down Leith street
Off-white Fiat
Driving so slow
(but hey, I’m no feart!!)
Passed the Playhouse
In 1977
We saw the White Riot tour
and we were in heaven
The Clash, Subway Sect
Slits, Buzzcocks live
The Jam on the same bill – £2.25!
Car boot sale?
Greenside place
Every Sunday morning
Off your face…
Leith Walk
Sandstone jungle where dreams are made up,
There’s nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in Leith Walk
These streets will make you feel brand new,
the pubs will inspire you,
Let’s hear it for Leith Walk, Leith Walk, Leith Walk
You can catch the cowboy,
You can catch the rasta,
Nip into Vittoria for a nifty pasta,
you should know the Windsor, you should know Pearce’s,
You can reach the City Limits, Elvis Shakespeare’s,
welcome to the pot bellies,
schemies on jellies,
Fall for the charms of the Volunteer Arms,
Waiting at the bus stop,
In a green and white top,
The No.14, 11, 22
Tourists looking for the castle and the zoo
It’s a state of mind
OK, it’s a state
But we don’t mind
It’s not quite The Ramblas
But it’s got Alhambras
Lovers and killers
Waiting in Priscillas
Central Bar leading to the Kirkgate
Long live Robbies
Its apart from the Embra state
